Gorgeous hues of stained glass create movement around a dramatic central blue female figure.

This piece is entitled “Shakti”. It is a 10″x 10″ glass on glass mosaic and is grouted in a charcoal black and framed in black. It comes with a 20″ chain attached for hanging in a window.

“Shakti” meaning “Power” or “empowerment,” is the primordial cosmic energy and represents the dynamic forces that are thought to move through the entire universe in Hinduism. Shakti is the concept, or personification, of divine feminine creative power, sometimes referred to as ‘The Great Divine Mother’ in Hinduism. On the earthly plane, Shakti most actively manifests through female embodiment and creativity/fertility, though it is also present in males in its potential, unmanifest form.

Not only is Shakti responsible for creation, it is also the agent of all change. Shakti is cosmic existence as well as liberation, its most significant form being the Kundalini Shakti, a mysterious psycho spiritual force. Shakti exists in a state of sv?tantrya, dependence on no one, being interdependent with the entire universe.

This piece is made with accents of blue agate, purple agate, varying shades of blue glass cabochons and stained glass in numerous colors and textures. It is hand signed by the artist (me) 🙂
