meiosis: egg, light, duality, motion, zaazaa
The "Meiosis" series is a cycle of self-portraiture, reflecting the internal feelings of being an artist/creator in a state of quiet bliss and contemplation. Balance and stillness, rawness and flesh, instinct and self-germination. The elements needed for the continuation of individualistic evolution as much as meiosis is needed for the continuation of life and evolution of all creatures. I occupy both kinds of chromosomes, I am the X and Y without the inclusion of the male figure, which defines my self-sustaining nature. But, it also indicates the basic human plight, the idea that ultimately we are all alone. Finding companionship between multidimensional selves living in a single body is a basic process of creating, replicating, and surviving.
