MOKSHA (मोक्ष) The piece: "MOKSHA"
The title comes from Sanskrit (मोक्ष): liberation from the cycle of death and rebirth (samsara), achieved through self-realization and the dissolution of attachment. The poster defines it as a state of freedom in which the soul is no longer bound by ego, desire, or material existence.
Composition: A six-armed human (echoing Hindu/Buddhist iconography of multi-armed deities) split down the center, one half rendered in tan/gold, the other in white/grayscale, symbolizing a duality within the self.
Each of the four outer hands holds a symbolic object tied to a personal declaration:
Attachment (heart): "I can release what I know is only temporary."
Mind (brain): "I am untrapped by every thought."
Ego (mask): "I remove the many masks of identity."
Greed (money bag): "I free myself from the endless chase."
Time (clock, held above the head): "I am no longer bound by the illusion of time."
Below the figure, moss and vines grow up through the body, suggesting life persisting throughout our human trials and somewhat struggles of balance.
"The weight of existence holds a thousand worlds, yet we continue to seek the light."
Overall meaning: It's a visual meditation on enlightenment through letting go. Each severed attachment (ego, greed, time, mind, material desire) is a step toward liberation, and the moss/vine growth suggests that shedding these burdens allows something new and alive to take root.
