In "Sattva Darshana 05: Lava Fish Frolicking with Sprite Eggs," the digital realm merges with the tangible through 3D rendering and Fine Art Giclée Printing. The artwork plunges the viewer into an ethereal underwater world, where lava fish—symbols of untamed energy—swim amidst fragile eggs of sprites, representing the purest forms of life and potential. The piece invites a meditation on the cosmic balance between chaos and serenity, evoking a mystical dance of elements in a constant state of flux. It's a visual journey that speaks to the eternal quest for harmony amid life's inherent complexities.
The 'Sattva Darshana' series—named after the Sanskrit term meaning 'seeing the essence of beings'—explores the myriad forms of life that I encounter in my global travels. Ever since I can remember, I've been captivated by the fleeting images of life that manifest in seemingly lifeless objects. These transient forms often vanish as quickly as they appear, eluding capture. This series serves as a means to immortalize these elusive moments. Utilizing real-world scans and AI algorithms, I transform these into intricate three-dimensional models and point clouds. These are then artistically refined to become the digital artworks of the series, each representing a unique moment that I have encountered. They appear on cliff edges, in barren woodlands, and in places least expected, revealing the ubiquity and resilience of life itself.
