Etching and aquatint on hard ground, printed on soft white somerset paper with steel plate, “I rise” portrays an otherworldly spiritual scape of rising of the energies, or the awakening of the kundalini. It showcases how life is not linear but cyclical. It offers soft fine lines, delicacy and luminosity. Through the uncertain process of printmaking, I wanted to capture the experience of that bliss and fulfilment in the midst of all the sufferings of life, and how life can be seen as a leela, a training ground or rather a playground. The drawing provides a map towards higher consciousness. The colour blue of this print symbolises the infinite, limitless, mysterious and unknown sky and the ocean.
