India-born, Denver, CO-based artists Deepti Nair and Harikrishnan Panicker, known collectively as Hari & Deepti, create beautiful, finely-detailed shadow box dioramas using painstakingly cut paper and LED strips.
“They start by cutting out layers of stiff watercolor paper, which go from the foreground to the back, ensuring that each layer is visible and that it builds on the layer before it. Then, the diorama is placed into a shadow box and illuminated from behind with small flexible LED strips, which give them their storybook glow and illuminate Hari & Deepti’s painstaking craftwork.”
Inspired by Balinese shadow puppets, the duo create fantastic scenes which hearken back to adventure-filled folk and fairy tales.
