Meet Bharti Trivedi

We were lucky to catch up with Bharti Trivedi recently and have shared our conversation below.

Bharti, thanks so much for taking the time to share your insights and lessons with us today. We’re particularly interested in hearing about how you became such a resilient person. Where do you get your resilience from?

My resilience was built long before I became an artist. Growing up in a big, lively household with siblings meant learning to hold my ground, fight for what I believed in, and start over when things didn’t go my way. My parents taught me that effort mattered more than outcomes — that nothing worth having comes easily. That early lesson made me curious, adaptable, and unafraid to try again.
As I stepped into my creative journey, that childhood stubbornness became my strength. The repetitive rhythm of tying knots taught me patience, while working with natural fibers like jute and cotton taught me acceptance — each has its own will and imperfections, just like life.
My greatest source of resilience, though, comes from love — the quiet faith of my partner, who has stood beside me through every doubt and every breakthrough. I’ve learned that resilience isn’t about being unshaken; it’s about evolving, bending with life’s rhythm, and continuing to create with an open heart.

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

At Yashi Designs, I create fiber-based artworks that blur the lines between traditional techniques, design, and sculpture. My work explores the dialogue between form, texture, and emotion — transforming everyday materials like jute, cotton, and wood into tactile stories. What excites me most is how something as humble as a rope or thread can take on strength, structure, and soul when shaped with intention.
Through repetitive, meditative processes, I build soft sculptures that echo nature’s rhythm — waves, arches landscapes, etc. Each piece becomes a reflection of time, patience, and the unseen connections that bind us to our environments.
I’m drawn to the interplay between structure and softness, strength and vulnerability. The knots, layers, and tensions in my work often mirror the complexities of human experience — how we hold, release, and evolve. By embracing imperfection and material honesty, I aim to create works that feel both grounded and poetic, inviting contemplation and calm.
I’m currently expanding my practice into larger site-specific installations that respond to architectural spaces and the surrounding landscapes. My upcoming projects continue to explore natural textures and organic forms, but on a more immersive scale — allowing viewers to experience the work not just visually, but spatially and emotionally.
I’m also experimenting with new materials and techniques that bridge fiber and sculpture — blending the softness of rope with the resilience of metal and wood. These explorations are guiding me toward a dialogue between permanence and fragility, structure and fluidity.
Ultimately, I want my work to offer moments of stillness — a quiet pause that reconnects us with the tactile and the timeless.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Looking back, I believe curiosity, perseverance, and adaptability have been the driving forces behind my journey.

Curiosity pushed me to explore fiber art in unconventional ways — to keep learning, experimenting, and finding beauty in materials that others often overlooked. It made every challenge an opportunity to create something meaningful.
Perseverance became my companion when the path ahead was uncertain. There were times when I didn’t know where to start, whom to ask, or how to grow — yet I kept going. I focused on the process instead of the destination, and slowly, doors began to open.
Finally, adaptability helped me move with the times — learning new tools, designing my own website, building an online presence, and finding ways to communicate my art in a world that’s constantly changing.

For anyone just beginning their creative path, I’d say:
Keep your curiosity alive. That’s where ideas start to take shape.
Also, even when things feel uncertain, keep going. Persistence always finds the way. And most importantly, stay open to learning. Every skill you gain makes your voice stronger and more honest.
Lastly, growth doesn’t always come in leaps; sometimes it’s in the small, consistent steps we take each day. That’s where our true journey unfolds.

Alright so to wrap up, who deserves credit for helping you overcome challenges or build some of the essential skills you’ve needed?

Without a doubt, it’s my husband. He has been my anchor through every storm — the one who believed in my abilities long before I did. When I decided to step away from a stable engineering career to follow my passion for art, it was his quiet confidence that gave me the courage to take that leap.
He has seen sides of me that even my parents never fully understood — the doubts, the tears, the endless nights of creating and questioning. And through all of it, he never once wavered. His faith in me became my foundation.
He’s been there for every late-night brainstorming session, every heavy piece that needed lifting, every deadline that felt impossible. His support goes far beyond partnership — it’s a shared dream, a belief that what we build together has meaning.
I often say that my work may carry my name, but it carries his strength too. Behind every sculpture, there’s his patience, calm energy, and unwavering belief that I was meant to do this.
Every artist needs someone who believes in their vision, especially in moments of uncertainty. For me, that’s him.
