Illustrating a narrative of an empowered woman holding a damru, which indicates Goddess Parvati, the painting is optical, replete with texture and an iridescent enigma sparkled by illuminating orbs. Dominated by rich golden hues on a dark canvas, the central figure embodies cosmic femininity, surrounded by numericals, hidden female energies and a dance of sustenance. As one traverses the artwork, the intensity of the movement and the depth reveals the eternal passage of time, the cyclic nature of the universe and their metaphorical presence in Indian mythology.
