My intent is to portray the eternal and interconnected nature of life. Round voluptuous shapes peel off in many layers, as a seedpod would reach its breaking point and open to expose the life bearing seed within. Each of my vessels portrays a different stage of life. I have shown these different stages through the use of a seedpod form, with each vessel opening larger and culminating with vessels that are completely open with new seeds inside.
All living things, large and small, follow the same natural laws. I focus on one of the most obvious and influential of natural laws, which is that of growth and development. Whether it is a person or a flower, life begins from a single point eventually spreading throughout the earth’s surface and beyond. The totality of the collection of pods is also meant to emphasize the continuity of the life process and the eternal nature of the universe. Each piece as well as the connection between them expresses this growth and change.
My work is thrown and then manipulated to create added details with an attempt to illustrate internal pressure leading to expansion and growth. With the intention of balancing structured and organic surfaces, The totality of the collection of pods is also meant to emphasize the continuity of the life process and the eternal nature of the universe. Each piece as well as the connection between them expresses this growth and change.

one of the purest moments of life are the moments of birth . the one giving birth and the ones experiencing it never have the words to justify the feeling stirring in their hearts . the pain of the mother is felt in the heart yet the tears of joy for the new life springs out from our eyes . life sprouts everyday in some way or the other .there is life evolving ,growing ,decreasing and living all around us .it can also be delusional , birth for some of us can be the end for others . it is a growing chain of possibilities from humans to birds to plants in the form of fetus ,egg and seeds. life , exist's and ends in itself.

I used the title sessile to describe this composition as the term describes something permanently attached .I found this feature of a coral similar to a bond between a mother and the unborn child .How a small cord plays an most important role for the survival of a tiny fetus ,after the birth the physical attachment is detached but the emotional and psychological attachment begins and grows over life time . The connection of the invisible cord becomes stronger and stronger .The bond between a mother and her child is only real and permanent bond in the world .

Ever wondered how did birds learn how to build a nest that will be her home for days to come. A nest built without any fixative, where she will lay eggs and nature her little bird. A nest that lasts through harsh weather. The same nest, where she will teach her chicks to fly, knowing one day they will leave their home and fly away to set up away to wide sky .
Similarly, for a woman, her womb is her nest, which she cares for more than anything in the world, even more than herself. She makes sure that nothing can destroy the nest she has build with mothering, woven by toil and charity and bounded by tears and happiness. she keeps everything bounded knowing someday need to fly. because no matter where they go they can never fly from her heart .Just as how nest is not build in a day, it's build by single straw each time, just as a mother takes each breath for the
little one .
Be it a bird or a human, motherhood will always be that love, which nothing can be compared to .

•The seed is quite a fascinating phenomenon. On the most basic level, the seed is the means by which the plant reproduces itself. In the same way it’s hard to believe an entire human is contained in a zygote, it’s hard to believe that entire trees are contained in tiny kernels. Something that can grow to hundreds of feet tall can fit easily in the palm of your hand. The entire tree is contained in the seed, but equally true is that the entire forest is contained in the seed, since a single tree can give rise to countless others.

All living things, large and small, follow the same natural laws. I focus on one of the most obvious and influential of natural laws, which is that of growth and development. Whether it is a person or a flower, life begins from a single point eventually spreading throughout the earth’s surface and beyond. As a seed breaks open with the right amount of internal pressure so does a sun. The amount of pressure that the sun will accept before exploding (going supernova) is called the Chandra limit. New life begins at the Chandra limit of the pod.

When you look at what it means to have patience, you’re ultimately talking about dealing with your own thoughts and emotions. As a spiritual being, there is an unbounded, limitless presence within ourselves that is constantly seeking expression.
As a time-bound, physical being, we have limitations for expressing this inner knowledge—constantly seeking instant gratification and spontaneous movement that doesn’t exist in the physical realm.
patience is the ability to not be troubled by life’s changes, delays, or other undesirables. It’s the ability to maintain stillness in the midst of disappointment.

To hold a seed in the palm of the hand is to hold a small future that is impossible to predict. Is the seed alive or is it dead? Will it germinate if it is given water, or is it dormant? The seed could be in any of these conditions.

As we move along the path of Ascension we sometimes hit pockets of time and space where we feel a wobble. Change is happening. Our time-line is shifting. We are being transformed inside and out and every once in a while we get caught in between two worlds; the old and the new.
Every change we make opens new doors of possibility and nudges us along a new path of potential.Sometimes moving onto a new path creates a feeling of being stuck between two worlds, two realities, while everything and everyone around us is catching up or falling into place

LIBERATION SERIES
As women, we think a lot about liberation. In society, we are faced with the truth that women are still not equal. We are still not fully liberated to be ourselves, to operate as women, to have equal pay or rights as men. We face these truths every day in our jobs, in our relationships and in the world around us.
We also struggle with individual liberation. We struggle to create more of what we really want. We struggle to express honestly who we are, what we think and how we feel. Most of us are still seeking way more freedom in our careers and our lives.
One of the first questions I ask myself is what do i really want in life . Mostly the answer is my own version of more freedom and liberation.
How liberated do you feel in life?
It is a powerful question and one that can propel you to shift your direction or change your goals.
I talk a lot about liberation in my work. There is no doubt we have to work in the world to create more equality, but what I have found is that there are more gains by working on freeing ourselves first,our innner self .
Here is the actual definition of liberation: the action of setting someone free from imprisonment, slavery, or oppression; release; freedom from limits on thought or behaviour.
What I have found , is that we often imprison ourselves. We limit our thoughts and our behaviors. We stop being true to who we are to fit into someone else’s definition of who we should be.
This is the root of not feeling happy, fulfilled or free.
Before we can make real headway in the world around women’s liberation, we have to first liberate our real selves.
