Chakras 2004
This series of works was completed in 2004. These are the seven major CHAKRAS, or energy points, that found within the human body. In Eastern studies, the Chakras are points or areas of energy that are responsible for a specific region. It is said that if you are ailing in any particular region one would concentrate on that specific Chakra in order to get the body back in harmony with itself. People often meditate on the Chakras to become more in tune with themselves and the world around them. And for these reasons, I chose to use the Chakras as subject matter.
There was much research that went into this series. I took the ideologies of the Eastern faiths in order to gain a better understanding for the Chakras. The names, the colors used, the number of petals on each Chakra....all these details have an influence from the Eastern studies on the Chakras. I hope this series is inspiring.
