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.
