'Altered states, benevolent spirits' (2013)
This series developed freely through a life of its own, playing with ideas of the habitual and the strange, to create a overblown totemic mass of grotesque figures and forms that straddles an uneasy balance between human and animal species, amid shamanistic altered states of the spirit world and Hindu stylisms.
The multiplicity of arms in Hindu Art emphasizes the immense power of the deity and his or her ability to perform several feats at the same time. Deities are frequently portrayed with multiple arms, especially when they are engaged in combative acts of cosmic consequence that involve destroying powerful forces of evil.
