Exploring the local folklore and ritual practices with gender studies, Kasha harnesses magic as a tool to deconstruct the binaries of patriarchy and capitalism. Through her works, she challenges the rigid constructs of gender roles and stereotypes, with an ambition to social therapy and broader societal reflections, including feminist and environmental discourse. In her interactions with audiences, she fosters empathy and understanding, interjecting moments of sharp criticism towards violence and oppression, weaving narratives that challenge the status quo and invite transformation of society.
