Play Along is an etching and aquatint print on hard ground that explores life as leela- a cosmic or divine play unfolding through shifting dualities of suffering and bliss. Rooted in Eastern philosophies and Vedic astrology, the work constructs an inner landscape through symbolic forms. The print is hand coloured and entirely process-led, emerging intuitively through the act of making rather than being pre-planned or representational. The composition reflects an ongoing, cyclical journey of life. It is a map where rather than a linear progression, life unfolds through constant fluctuation, holding both ascent and descent within it. This work is a reminder, for both myself and the viewer, that life is a playground and we are fleeting beings here only for a short while. The visual language brings together sky, land, and water which echoes the astral, physical, and causal planes of existence. Within this space, the visible and invisible overlap, suggesting that human experience operates across multiple layers of awareness simultaneously.
