While all the sculptures in the series honor the elements, each one celebrates
particular energies. GAYATRI highlights the fire element. Within the triangular
opening in the marble, water cascades over the mother-of-pearl disc, and,
dancing with light, creates a dynamic firelight effect.
On the physical plane, it is the sun's firey energy that is the sustaining power of
life on the planet. The light of our brilliant "day star" dispels all darkness,
enabling us to see clearly the world around us. In the same way, on the inner
dimension, it is the power of the Divine that sheds light upon our consciousness,
bringing clarity, understanding and wisdom.
GAYATRI is an ancient Sanskrit name, and is associated with the Divine power
of illumination. It is this power of illumination that is represented in the inner
chamber of the sculpture.
Dynamic, creative, energetic and vital, this force dispels all darkness, confusion
and ignorance, and sheds light upon our journey to wholeness and freedom.
Sometimes bold and brilliant, sometimes gentle like the dawn, GAYATRI is the
name of that mysterious inner power that awakens us from our deep sleep of
unconsciousness and illuminates the Self.
