Mudras

This sketch on wood, entitled ‘Mudras’, is a powerful depiction of the human form in a state of contemplation. The man, rendered faceless, symbolizes the universal human experience, while the red robe represents the pure and unadulterated state of being. The fire emanating from one hand is a metaphor for the burning passion that drives us to seek understanding and enlightenment, while the pear falling from the tree in the other hand represents the fleeting nature of existence. This artwork encourages us to look inward, to connect with our inner selves, and to strive for a state of peace and understanding through the practice of meditation and use of Mudras.
