I grew up inside making.

I come from a family of traditional metal sculptors in Nepal who have practiced lost-wax casting for generations. From an early age, I learned sculpture as process—clay to wax, wax to metal—where patience, repetition, and labor are as important as form.

My early work was rooted in traditional Buddhist and Hindu iconography, creating bronze and fiberglass sculptures for monasteries, temples, and public spaces in Nepal and internationally. These works ranged from intimate ritual objects to large-scale installations, shaped by devotion, craft, and collective memory.

In 2018, I relocated to the United States and stepped away from large-scale production. That pause allowed my practice to slow down and shift. Returning to sculpture, my work expanded beyond tradition while remaining grounded in it.

Today, I work across clay, bronze, fiberglass, and mixed media, exploring fragmentation, gesture, ritual, and transformation. My figures often feel unfinished or in motion—caught between states, carrying both weight and vulnerability. I’m interested in what survives through touch, belief, and time.

Now based at the Arts Factory in Las Vegas, my practice sits between ancestral craft and contemporary experimentation. Alongside studio work, I engage in community-based art, workshops, and collaborations that center shared making and access.

This work is ongoing.
