Title: Story of a Seed

Based on text which is mystical. Seed is a metaphor for unity into multiplicity and also creation and its story is that it grows into a powerful tree and provides shade, shelter, fruit and and symbolically refers to knowledge as well.

“Night of Union”

Though it is based on mystical text from South Asia. It clearly shows a woman in red (bridal red in South Asian tradition) carrying a fully blossomed lotus in her left hand. Symbolically showing the fertility and purity of a woman. At the same time it shows how strong woman can be that she is capable of pushing the sun and stop the day to rise and has that character that she can change the world if she wants.

“My Beloved Unfold the Mysteries”

This is my early work and it clearly shows how I perceived my religion and its mystical dimensions.

Thank you!
