Samadhi

Samadhi - oil on canvas 20" x 24"

The yogic state of super consciousness is known as Samadhi, where the individual self, Atma, merges with the cosmic self, Maha Purusha. The primordial chaos, here represented as lightening, stands as a backdrop while the individual joins with the collective consciousness of Creation, shown as the body becoming disassembled. The lamp is symbolic for a wish coming true.
