To achieve the interplay between the textured paper mache sculptures and the reflective mirror surfaces, I worked closely with Vibrant Technik’s architectural materials. The result is a piece that changes as you move past it, reflecting your own emotions back at you. When Sanjay from Vibrant Technik approached me to explore the Navarasa, the nine ancient Indian emotions, I knew it had to be a tactile experience. We moved away from traditional painting, choosing to layer handmade, upcycled paper pulp onto reflective, architectural-grade mirrors. This fusion creates a unique dialogue, you aren't just looking at an artwork, you are seeing yourself within the emotion. The process was raw and experimental. We spent weeks in the studio figuring out how to balance the weight of the pulp against the smoothness of the mirror without compromising the integrity of the base. For emotions like Karuna (compassion) or Vira Rasa (courage), I used specific color palettes and relief depths to ensure the texture felt intentional and grounded. Whether you are a brand looking for a statement installation or a collector wanting a piece that connects, this collection proves that art does not have to be static. It can be a mirror, a conversation starter, and a study in conscious design. If you are interested in commissioning a custom sculptural piece or exploring a brand collaboration that uses these techniques, let us talk. I am based in Breach Candy, Mumbai, and frequently travel for installations. ## About Shruti Jhaveri I am Shruti Jhaveri, and I believe art should be something you can feel, not just look at. My work focuses on breathing life into upcycled materials, creating textured narratives that tell a story. Whether it is a live performance or a permanent installation, I aim to create a space for honest, human connection.
