In deep
meditation, the soul's fiery energies are
increasingly transformed into sublime
emanations. This is the fire that no
longer burns, but heals with soul warmth
and compassion. This image is inspired by
Tibetan boddhisattva (literally
"enlightened being") statues,
depicting those who have escaped from the
endless cycle of re-birth and yet
returned to earthly life out of
compassion for their fellow human beings.
With the lithe curves of the body, I have
tried to suggest the sinuous dance of a
flame, while at the same time the
precise, harmonious posture conveys
serenity.
