“I eye the world, I pay it homage, I paint its story, I am the tree, I hold the universe in the spread of my arms” Seema Kohli's ethereal piece from "The Golden Womb Series" is an enchanting narrative of the surreal and dream world that become her constant landscape of thought. The central figure, embracing a golden orb, shows the same figurine, perhaps a self-portrait, and engages in inspired and meditative efforts. Surrounded by a sea of azure and winged beings, the meticulous detailing of lotus blossoms, swirling waves, and celestial guardians convey a profound sense of unity and transcendence
