This Installation is about Shedding light on the different layers or dimensions of existence - physical, biological, spiritual, cultural, etc. - and exploring their interconnectedness and significance. Life is a woven tapestry of physical, natural, and spiritual layers. The white light symbolizes purity and guides newborns into their journey. This artwork shows how life is a cycle of birth, growth, death, and rebirth and how everything is connected. As we experience life, we discover more profound layers of meaning that shape our thoughts, emotions, relationships, and purpose. Exploring these layers helps us understand ourselves and our place in the universe, leading to a more fulfilling life. By acknowledging the interdependence of all living things and the cyclical nature of existence, we can embrace impermanence and cultivate gratitude for each moment. Through this awareness, we can find peace and connection in a world that can often seem chaotic and overwhelming.
