Marble & Stone Sculptural Installations
I transform discarded marble blast stones into monumental forms. These sculptures are not just objects, but spaces meant to connect with our origins and the stories we hold within.
This page from a catalogue details two of my marble works. 'Love', a heart-shaped sculpture, and 'Untitled', an abstract piece, are both made from marble blast stones, exploring emotion and form through recycled stone.
Standing within my sculpture 'KAMA'. This monumental work, shaped like a female pelvic bone, is made entirely of waste marble chips. It is a space of origin, and I invite viewers to step inside to connect with this idea of creation.

With friends and patrons inside 'KAMA'. The sculpture becomes a gathering place, a shared space for conversation and connection, fulfilling its role as a piece that is both visually impressive and socially engaging.
This video provides a detailed walkthrough of the interior of 'KAMA'. It shows the intricate mosaic of the marble stones and the way light and shadow play within the sculpture's curves, creating an immersive experience.
About KAMA & Other Marble Works: Sculpting Stories in Stone
Creating these forms is a slow, meditative act. Each marble chip is hand-selected and cleaned before being attached to the steel frame. Because this work is entirely manual, the surface texture remains organic and raw. If you are considering a piece for a specific corner of your home or office, we should discuss the lighting requirements first, as these forms change character depending on how light hits the stone.
My studio in Jaipur focuses on breathing life into discarded materials. The marble blast stones used in this series are the remnants left behind after artisans carve deities for temples. These small chips often go to waste, but I see them as fragments of faith and history. By gathering, cleaning, and reconstructing these pieces, I create large-scale works like KAMA that invite people to step inside and experience a different sense of scale.
Every installation is a project of patience. Working with steel meshes and thousands of individual stone chips is labor-intensive, requiring weeks of assembly to ensure the structural integrity matches the aesthetic intent. I design these for varied environments. In a private home, a smaller floor sculpture can act as a centerpiece, while my vertical installations are engineered for atriums and staircases where light can catch the white stone.
I invite you to think about where your space needs a focal point. Whether you are interested in an abstract floor piece or a large cascading structure for a commercial lobby, the starting point is always the conversation about the site. What is the light like? How do people move around the area? We use these answers to plan the installation, from the ceiling anchors for suspended works to the protective felt lining on our free-standing sculptures.

I come from a family of sculptors in Jaipur where stone dust is just part of the air. I do not see marble as just a material, but as a vessel for history and memory. When I build these forms, I am really just continuing a conversation that started long before I touched the stone.
