Move (dance mandala) Print - Limited Edition of 7

Original- MOVE (Dance Mandala) . video . 2020 Copies- 35/35 inch photo on plexiglass The video Move shows a revolving mandala, consisting of a rotation of ancient Indian dance movements and gestures, which I perform in front of the camera. The mandala in Sanskrit is a sacred circle, movement, the wheel of life, a reflection of the universe that rotates and returns to itself. The circle and its center represents the deity and the universe, the one and the many, the physical and the spiritual. The constant movement around the center is the essence of our existence, so creating a mandala is part of the spiritual center search ceremony in the Indian culture. The mandala represents order, organization, and wholeness, and creates a connection with the divine subconscious, a connection that brings peace and tranquility. The circular, rotational, cyclic motion represents the world, and the basic state of our existence. There is nothing that does not rotate, from the smallest particles of atoms that make up the material world, through the blood cycles, to the stars that make up the universe. Our existence is made possible by this constant rotational motion, which is natural and unconscious. At the moment of dance, the body rotates and consciously connects to the unconscious rotational motion of the world. This rotational movement allows the body to connect to the sublime consciousness, and to the one and eternal whole.
