I build them using a reinforced, upcycled paper pulp base that is remarkably sturdy, then seal them with a high-gloss resin or Duco finish. This ensures they don't just sit on your wall as fragile decor, but remain a durable, tactile focal point in your home for years to come. The Awakening Cycle is an exploration of the moments between who we were and who we are becoming. I created these pieces to capture that quiet, transitional space in our lives. Each circular sculpture is not just a visual object; it is a deep-relief, three-dimensional narrative. ### The Process Behind the Texture I build each piece in layers, letting the material grow and breathe until it feels complete. Using upcycled paper pulp, fiber, and mixed media, I sculpt deep grooves and flowing ridges that mimic natural landscapes or the movement of water. By manipulating these raw materials, I create a dynamic surface that shifts with the light throughout the day, ensuring the art feels alive in your space. ### Installation & Care I understand that investing in art involves practical considerations. - **Durability:** The pieces are reinforced with wood-plastic composite or high-density plywood backing for structural integrity. - **Mounting:** Each piece arrives with pre-installed heavy-duty hooks or a French cleat system, designed for secure, flush mounting on your wall. - **Logistics:** To protect the delicate 3D ridges, every sculpture is shipped in a custom-built wooden crate. Whether you are looking for a statement piece like the 48-inch diameter Series 1 or a more intimate 36-inch piece, these sculptures are designed to invite touch and contemplation. If you have a specific color palette or wall size in mind, we can discuss a commission based on this series to perfectly suit your interior. ## About Shruti Jhaveri I'm Shruti Jhaveri. My work sits at the intersection of meditation and design, where I turn raw, sustainable materials into sculptures that breathe with movement. I don't just make art for walls; I create pieces that invite you to pause and find your own flow.
