THIS PROJECT WAS ABOUT UNDERSTANDING TWO ADVANCE CRAFTS - DEVELOPMENT OF BLOCK PRINTING AND SHIBORI TECHNIQUES WITH ONE COMMON THEME.LIKE EVERY PROJECT HAS THREE STAGES:
IDEATION
RESEARCH
EXECUTION
IDEATION
WORDS LIKE AURA, ENERGY, VIBES, ATTRACTION OF ENERGIES HAVE ALWAYS CATCHES MY ATTENTION THROUGH ANY MEDIUM SO, THOUGHT TO TAKE SOMETHING FROM THIS ZONE OF AREA FOR THIS PROJECT.AFTER DOING RESEARCH FURTHER ON ENERGIES AND AURA, GOT TO KNOW THAT IN UNIVERSE THERE ARE CONSTANT MATHEMATICAL PATTERN BEHIND MANY NATURAL PHENOMENON WHICH CREATE SIMILARITIES AND SYNCHRONIZATION BETWEEN THEM.
RESEARCH
LOTUS 'S STRUCTURE AND EXISTENCE IS ONE OF THE EXAMPLE OF SACRED GEOMETRY.
The Lotus Flower is one of the earliest and most spiritually meaningful symbols in our world ever. The blossoming Lotus Flower ascends above the murky water to unveil its glorious petals.Specific designs including the Lotus Flower rising itself in virtue above the murky pond, provide a sense of cosmic connection and energy within the oneness of all being.
AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON SACRED GEOMETRY TOOK TWO INSPIRATION FROM LOTUS ITSELF FOR THIS PROJECT
1)LOTUS TEMPLE
2) KALIEDOSCOPIC PATTERN
BLOCK PRINTING DEVELOPMENT
LOTUS TEMPLE
is a Bahá'í House of Worship. Like all Bahá'í Houses of Worship, the Lotus Temple is open to all, regardless of religion or any other qualification. The building is composed of 27 free-standing marble-clad "petals" arranged in clusters of three to form nine sides,with nine doors opening onto a central hall with a height of slightly over 34.27 metres and a capacity of 2500 people.

INSPIRED STRUCTURAL ASPECTS OF LOTUS AND KALEIDOSCOPIC PATTERNS
THESE ARE FINAL EXPLORATIONS MADE WITH COMBINATION OF DIFFERENT SHIBORI TECHNIQUES.
BOTH HOT AND COLD COLOR DYES ARE USED DURING THE EXPLORATION STAGE.
