Her practice explores impermanence through fragile materials such as handmade paper, papier-mâché, and organic matter, treating them as collaborators in a process of memory and transformation. Working with organic, fragmented forms, she embraces erosion, asymmetry, and tactile surfaces. Through slow, repetitive gestures, her work gives form to fleeting emotions and unseen narratives. It ultimately reflects on vulnerability, transience, and the quiet beauty of change.
Vruddhi lives and works in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India.
