Padme - The Spiritual Bloom. (Watercolours on paper; 16” by 11”). In Buddhism, the lotus not only represents spiritual purity, but also serves as a reminder that all beings are capable of attaining enlightenment. Just as the lotus rises up from the depths of muddy ponds and lakes to blossom immaculately above the water’s surface, so can the human heart or mind develop the virtues of the Buddha and transcend desire and attachment to reveal its essentially pure nature. It symbolizes the growth of the soul from the dirty physical world, finally opening into the bright sunshine of enlightenment. Buddha is depicted seated on top of an open lotus flower. This indicates his divine status and alludes to the purity of enlightenment.

My artwork on the theme - “Women leadership, touching skies” as cover page of Varuni magazine, NWWA(ER)

Ariya aṭṭhaṅgika magga - The Noble Eightfold Path. Watercolours on paper; 16” by 11”). This artwork depicts the Noble Eightfold Path of Buddhism through the dharma wheel (dharmachakra), with its eight spokes representing the eight elements of the path, namely - right view, right resolve, right speech, right conduct, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right samadhi (concentration). The four circles in the corners represent the four noble truths, namely - the existence of suffering, it’s cause, it’s cessation and the path leading to its end. The path alluded to in the fourth truth is The Eightfold Path, which ultimately leads to enlightenment or Nirvana. This path is also depicted textually as Tibetan manuscripts in the background of the artwork.

Panchamahabhuta - The five great elements. (Watercolours on paper; 16” by 11”). This artwork depicts the five elements of nature - Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space. The universe is made of these five elements, each representing both a force of nature and a quality of the mind. These outer elements interact with the inner elements in our own physical body, and the potential and quality of these five elements also exist within our mind. The Mind’s ability to serve as the ground for all experience is the quality of earth; its continuity and adaptability is water; its clarity and capacity to perceive is fire; its continuous movement is air; and its unlimited emptiness is space. In Buddhism these elements can be represented on prayer flags as depicted in the artwork.
