A hand-cut paper artwork of a lotus, framed and made to stand on a tabletop — though it hangs on a wall equally well. Cut by hand from a single sheet of white paper: no joins, no assembly, nothing added.

The lotus is among the most loved motifs in Indian art — a symbol of purity, and of something beautiful rising out of muddy water. It suits this technique particularly well, because the petals are defined by the gaps between them rather than by any line.

As a tabletop piece it works on a coffee table, a console, a mandir shelf or a desk — somewhere it can catch the light and cast its own shadows.

Frequently asked questions

What is paper cutting art?
The image is cut by hand from a single sheet of paper, so the design is formed by what's removed rather than by anything drawn or added. The whole sheet must stay connected as one piece — which is what makes it so exacting.

Does it stand up or hang?
Both — it's framed as a tabletop piece, but works on a wall too.
