Paisley Grove at Dusk

This textile artwork is a stunning representation of nature’s rhythm, created entirely from leftover fabric , thoughtfully pieced together and enhanced with embroidery. At the center stands a paisley form — a traditional motif often found in Indian textiles — interpreted here as a blossoming tree or an abstract symbol of growth. Surrounding it are uniquely shaped trees, each with distinct silhouettes and surface designs, standing atop bands of layered fabrics that suggest water and earth. The bold red sky, golden backdrop, and embroidered sun suggest a dramatic dusk setting, evoking warmth and quietude. The piece cleverly integrates textured greens, blues, and batik-printed elements to celebrate biodiversity. Each element, from the intricate waves to the stylized trunks, tells a story of harmony between tradition and innovation. This framed artwork not only preserves fabric from going to landfills but also renews its purpose through a creative lens — a statement on ecological consciousness rooted in cultural beauty.
