My Hand-Carved Designs From Paper Inspired By Natural Elements
I am Parth Kothekar from Ahmedabad, India. I started my papercutting journey in 2012 and have been experimenting with and learning from papercuts ever since. To challenge myself, I create thematic paper art series from time to time.
These works are from my solo exhibition, which took place in 2024 at Art and Charlie Gallery. In this show, I showcased how humans are damaging nature to construct their homes. Each artwork is hand-carved using a craft knife and takes a minimum of 20 days to complete.

To illustrate how construction is damaging natural habitats, I have used various bird nests and incorporated construction elements inside them to show that by building our homes, we are destroying theirs.

In this series, I have showcased that there is no land left for birds to survive, so they have started living beneath the earth.
