Nature of Life Unfolding

Healing Environments & Art Installations

Inspired by the Fibonacci sequence and the geometry of natural growth, Nature of Life Unfolding reflects the quiet order within organic movement. Designed and sculpted by Shelli Mehri, the piece layers resin, sculptural form, and airbrushed imagery to evoke the unfolding patterns of life and the universe itself.

Created for the waiting area of a medical practitioner’s clinic, this 100-pound installation explores the bridge between cosmic and human design. At its center, a Fibonacci spiral transforms into the structure of DNA, symbolizing the shared rhythm of nature, body, and cosmos. Shards of mirror surround the spiral, reflecting the viewer and inviting participation in the act of creation. Embedded meteorites, minerals, and crystals add texture and resonance, while an accompanying video reveals the intricate process and deeper meaning behind this multidimensional work.

Designed to bring comfort and tranquility to a doctor’s waiting room, The Healing Tree blends natural materials with calming artistry to create a space of quiet restoration. Crafted offsite and installed over weekends to ensure a seamless, undisturbed process, the design features a two-tier tray ceiling with airbrushed sky panels and a bronze tree sculpture set against a softly illuminated salt wall. Each acrylic leaf was individually shaped and attached to create lifelike movement, while concealed LED lighting filters through the branches, casting gentle, shifting shadows that evoke sunlight through a forest canopy. The result is an environment that nurtures calm, reflection, and connection — transforming an ordinary waiting room into a living work of art.
