This work is my attempt to re-interpret the ancient icon of Tara in a contemporary context.
I wanted to show this female energy appearing to spin out of control while trying to stay in the traditional meditation position. One hand is 'touching earth' while the other hand still holds the lotus of 'enlightenment'.
I have given the impression of 'modern' clothing (stiletto heels etc .....as a symbolic gesture to suggest the alluring and often unnatural complexities in our lives.
She is not absolutely calm and serene but she represents the position of many women today. Still aiming for awareness and compassion...... 'still hanging in there!'
'still here...' by *eala-art-studios comtains some wonderful moment and great work on the sense wind blowing through the characters hair. The look of serenity and peacefulness on her face further helps add to the sense of her being somewhere special and at one with the elements around her.

Thank you Arthur. Your photographers 'eye' in appraising this work is much appreciated. Achieving a sense of movement is often quite difficult with clay because of weight issues.

Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
