The door is also not round, and there are increases and decreases, creating evolution.

Motiva

Motiva is philosophical art on your wall. A patented design concept that brings together inspiring quotes with beautiful artwork to create a new medium for expression.

This unique grid is matched with striking artwork, printed on fine paper, and harnessed in a wooden frame. As Motiva hangs on your wall, it slowly reveals the quotes hidden within.
