Spirit of Harmony
Red Bird, 2021
20 x 16 in
Indian ink, watercolor on arches paper
This series is an exploration of the coexistence of grief and celebration. Made during a time of intense personal grief, when it felt like things were breaking down, these drawings became a way to process emotions and invite harmony. A path towards finding order within chaos, as they are visually portrayed in this series.
Intuitively incorporating numbers into the process, I thought about each drawing as an alchemizing process between two entities - myself and another person - encoded as two colours that are distinct. Harmony emerges through interlocking colurs and shapes, making a whole.
These drawings are also inspired by Yantras, geometric diagrams in the Tantric tradition that are used as tools of contemplation of a deity.
