This piece is inspired by Kali, the goddess of shakti (power), time, and destruction. She is also the mother of the Universe, the mother of all living things, she is seen as the divine protector who bestows Moksha (liberation). Kali came to me in a vision, re-awakening through her stone statue, splitting it in half, her energy reverberating throughout the cosmos. Kali is the goddess of liberation and change, shedding her old self or her dormancy to awaken to set the world free through change. This piece is an ode to the goddess but also to myself, as I envision myself as her and breaking away from things that don’t serve me, to serve my highest good. I created this piece around the time when I started seeing art as a career, which was a time of shedding limiting beliefs, unsupportive people, and reawakening the creative power I hold within me. I hope seeing Kali burst through her shell, others can be inspired to tune into her frequency and destroy theirs. To unlock their highest potentials and unleashing a world of possibility, knowing that Kali is here to support them during this transformation.
