Prakriti (Woman and Sacred Symbols)

This intricate tableau reads like a devotional dreamscape, where a serene feminine profile becomes the quiet witness to a cosmos of symbols—blossoming forms, watchful eyes, and script-like marks that pulse with the cadence of mantra and memory. The composition is orchestrated through bold, stained-glass blocks of color and meticulous patterning, letting saturated blues and saffrons collide with velvety purples to create a rhythmic tension between the sacred and the sensuous. A central axis—part vegetal, part totem—binds disparate motifs into a single inward-facing architecture, suggesting that the temple here is not merely built of stone but assembled from perception, lineage, and desire. In its layered iconography, the work proposes identity as a living shrine: ornamented, guarded, and continuously renewed by the act of looking.
