Pooja Pawaskar / Liv Ikebana-Style Vase

Based in Canada, Pooja Pawaskar is the Indian-born artist behind Whirl & Whittle. Crafting wooden and ceramic pieces which celebrate the inherent beauty in each object’s peculiarities, Pooja chooses to embrace blemish in her works and herself in a world which relies heavily on flawlessness and being static. Her work is grounded in the belief that the world around us and the things within it are unique rather than imperfect. 

This collection reminds us that nothing is genuinely damaged, no matter how painful it might seem at the time. The pieces take their ethos from the Japanese art of Kintsugi. The founder draws inspiration from the wisdom of Kintsugi - highlighting the pivotal moment in the life of an object.
