Limited edition print on archival quality paper.
“Cosmic Imbalance” uses the ancient South Asian composite deity, the Ardhanarishvara, to oppose the pervasive issues of gender inequality in present-day South Asian culture. The Ardhanarishvara is a half-male half-female deity, a composite form of the Hindu Gods Shakti and Shiva, that symbolizes the cosmic alliance and balance between male and female energies. This longstanding ancient belief of balance is contrasted with the current reality of gender inequality and gender-based violence.
