DURGA YANTRA

20x16, acrylic spray paint on canvas panel, 2014.

Yantra is the Sanskrit word for a mystical diagram that serves as a visual tool in meditation, or as symbolic representation of the energy of a spiritual concept. Yantras are traditionally used to balance the mind or bring clarity to thought. This yantra is the symbolic depiction of the Hindu goddess Durga, the divine mother goddess, who like a mother, fiercely protects her children.
