Adi Shakti

The artwork shows Adi Shakti, the 'primal energy'. The figures holds different Objects in each hand, as animals accompany the central figure. Their hair is matted and spread like a halo. The characteristic Gond patterns run across the various figures. A concept in Hinduism that represents the primordial, supreme feminine energy or power, often associated with the goddess Durga, Parvati, or Kali. The term "Adi" means "primordial" or "original", and "Shakti" refers to the divine feminine energy, the power or force that drives the universe. Together, Adi Shakti signifies the source and origin of all creation, a cosmic force that embodies both creation and destruction.

This project is a collaboration of Bridge Bharat with Carpet Couture. Here we bring forth the two mediums to create a unique collection of artworks that provides an intervention in viewing art. 
It is a coming together of thousands of years of painting tradition with the Bhadohi art of weaving.
