Dvara

Dvara

Traditionally doors of homes and temples were adorned with mesmerized motifs of eternity. A beautiful balance between chaos and harmony, each doorway was a passage, an entrance into a different space. As a dancer, Sejal feels space is one of the most important aspects of movement. To be able to move with the space and change it is to have danced. A Dvara has a physical existence that has the capacity of creating a spiritual awareness and separation of space. Throughout our lives we are moving spaces, both physically and metaphorically. In this series of oil paintings, all in the sizes of doorways, the artist is bringing an ancient concept back into our lives, reincarnating the concept of Dvara.
