Ecommerce Mandala 2 Painting

* Due to the logistical disruption caused by the ongoing Covid pandemic, delivery of original paintings may take upto 4 months after purchase. Prints will be delivered on schedule. Please bear with us* I work within a concept I invented, called MokshaShots. In eastern philosophy, ‘Moksha’ means salvation. A MokshaShot, by definition, is a taste of the Sublime. I had this idea that since we probably won’t get to full-fledged Moksha in this lifetime, we can get a glimpse of it. Everyone can make their own MokshaShot out of anything they find fulfilling – art, chocolate, sex, a vacation, a Ferrari or a tequila shot! She has created deities called MokshaPets. Each of them represents an aspect of the Self. This work is part of the series titled ‘The Conquest of the Mind’. The traditional Thangka or Mandala painting was used as an aid during meditation. In her work, this process is likened to how we create gods out of products, people and experiences as objects of contemplation. This eventually leads to mind space being conquered by them. Consumerism is now the new secular religion. Through history, faith and religion have been ways to conquer the mind. The methods of dissemination have changed over time, depending on changes in materials and technology, though the concept remains the same. This particular work refers to how digital media and e-commerce have changed not only the way we consume, but also the way we relate and communicate with each other. Everything including a product, an emoticon, a mascot or a meditation promises to be your very own MokshaShot, the vehicle to your ultimate goal- Salvation!
