Motherhood (Batuk Bhairav)

A hybrid guardian—part deity, part beast—advances across a field of sky-blue dots, its body stitched together by obsessive linework that feels like prayer turned into pattern. The composition balances weight and levitation: a dense, indigo torso and ceremonial red cloth anchor the figure while a luminous wing and tapering spire lift it into a mythic, airborne register. Orbiting masks and a vigilant sun-face expand the scene into a cosmology, suggesting that identity here is not singular but a constellation of witnesses, ancestors, and archetypes. Beneath the ornate surface, the work reads as a quiet procession of protection and power, where the fantastical becomes a language for inner sovereignty.
