Earth
Earth in Sanskrit is 'Prithvi'. All Plants, vegetables and fruits spring from the Earth. In Hindu philosophy there is the eternal Earth, which exists in the form of the atom, and perishable Earth, which exists in the form of work. We, symbolically, are perishable. But, elements (atoms) are eternal after death. After burial or cremation, atoms are disintegrated and returned to the eternal form.

Bio
<p>Through layers of mark-making, colors, and textures, Vidya Shyamsundar paints mandalas inspired by the centuries-old South Indian meditative art called K?lam with distinct intricacy, precision, and symmetry. Painting a mandala gives her a feeling of belonging and identity, a practice that helps her to slow down and find her momentary peace. Through her narratives and intuitive brushstrokes, Vidya lets her creativity unfold by opening and emptying the mind, helping her feel centered and grounded.</p>
