Meet Shakti
Shakti is David's most recent casting project. Created as a limited series of up to 18 castings, she is a 7 feet tall bronze meditating figure. She weighs about 600 pounds and took years to complete. She was created using a method called "lost wax". There are many steps to this process and you can view some of the photos and video in other sections and on our social media channels.
​
Further editions are available for purchase. Please contact Mr. Van Zandt directly for details and pricing.
She creates a stir where ever she goes! Hear from those who have seen her in person and their experiences in the video section below.
​
The intention for her creation is to bring a message of Peace and Compassion to all beings. Her life force energy is palpable and has one ask the question- does bronze breathe??!

David Van Zandt comments on his impetus for creating Shakti:
"I was impelled by an intense desire to share non-verbal information derived from personal experiences over time, about the ecstatic, transcendent being-ness that can envelop us when we choose to pursue and engage a direct, visceral connection with our divine source. “
