Abstract:
"The followers of Dharma have long practiced merging the spiritual values of Shiva with various forms of devotional offerings. Now, this practice has been reinterpreted through visual art forms, creating an immense sense of originality and evolution of the spiritual rituals portrayed in the graphical form with contemporary-era digital tools. Focusing on the elements of the offerings, such as the mountain and the formation of the holy river through valleys and basins, gives an understanding of the core belief of Dharma through visuals created in a series of abstractions." --Abstract
