elements: wind

Peace can only exist when equilibrium is maintained in space, the celestial objects, the gods governing nature, bodies of water, the forests and the idea of peace itself ~ Shanti mantra.

The five elements in the order of lightest to heaviest Space, Air, Fire, Water and Earth are called as Pancha Bhuta. Each element is said to be generated from the previous. Every element contains a fraction of the four other elements within it. This set of 5 framed pieces are part of the hidden meaning series. These elements of earth, water, fire, air, and space also inspire my use of artistic materials. In making these paintings, heat was used to fuse pigment into cold wax, pumice stone in powdered form was mixed to paste, water and inks were applied in thin layers to create depth.
