This series of watercolors depict double shadow self-portraits over-top highly detailed 'flying' carpets. The poses, taken from Vinyasa yoga, reveal postural discrepancies, intersections and distortions of my body through two views. The carpets are a metaphor for Shamatha (Mindfulness) meditation. Both yoga and meditation are self-reflective disciplines that its practitioners, including myself, believe assist in developing greater compassion towards others through increasing awareness of how the body and mind exist in a natural state of wakefulness. In these paintings, I hope to draw gentle attention to the feeling tone behind these two contemplative practices.
