Vriksha: The Tree of Life

A layered interpretation of the Tree of Life, this artwork brings together movement, growth, and interconnectedness through intricate paper engineering. The form of the tree rises and bends with an organic rhythm, symbolizing resilience and continuity, while its branching structure reflects the many directions of life and time.

Crafted using laser-cut techniques, the piece combines delicate papercraft layering with subtle metal accents, creating depth, shadow, and contrast within a minimal palette. The swirling backdrop suggests unseen energy and flow, while gold-toned butterflies introduce moments of transformation and lightness.

Each layer builds upon the next, turning a flat surface into a dimensional narrative. The result is a quiet yet detailed composition that shifts with perspective, capturing the idea of life as something constantly evolving, rooted yet in motion.
