220cm x 100cm
A multi-sensory space, to rest, to reflect, to feel held, and to dream.
Through the warm pink glow of a suspended neon light, a representation of the divine feminine form of Mother Nature is presented.
Almost shrine like, she is accompanied by the classical Indian string instrument - the dilruba, playing Raga Kalyan (composed and recorded by the incredible Amrit Kaur). Raga Kalyan is a classical Indian melody, traditionally associated to the evening hours of 6pm – 9pm and is said to be connected with the evocation of beauty, devotion and dedication.
Incense is also used to adorn the air with the rich, spicy, and floral scents of nature, awakening a deeper awareness of our intimate and inseparable connection to our earthly home.
The space offers a place for us to rest, and to contemplate the abundant and unconditional love and beauty of Mother Nature, and our capacity to reciprocate it.
