A many-armed goddess stands with serene, unwavering gaze, her multiplied limbs fanning outward like a disciplined halo—an image of protection made visible through repetition and symmetry. The cool, powdered blues of her sari and the airy negative space temper the scene with calm, while the punctuating red spheres read as a surrounding field of threat, anxiety, or contagion held at bay by ritual composure. Beneath her, the subdued, almost ornamental demon-mask becomes less a vanquished enemy than a reminder that fear is ever-present—contained underfoot through inner poise rather than spectacle. The work’s flattened, folk-inflected geometry turns myth into a contemporary talisman, suggesting resilience as a daily practice performed with many hands at once.
