Scrambled Sa Ta Na Ma
Approximately 60 × 48 inches

Scrambled Sa Ta Na Ma draws from the Kundalini mantra “Sa Ta Na Ma,” a sacred sound cycle representing birth, life, death, and rebirth. In this piece, the mantra is not presented as serene or orderly, but as layered, fragmented, and insistently repeated—mirroring how these life cycles rarely unfold in perfect rhythm. The overlapping marks and distorted repetitions evoke the emotional reality of transformation: each round of becoming is messy, intense, and often painful, yet deeply necessary. Colors collide and stack like echoes of past selves, suggesting how every phase of existence leaves residue within the next. Rather than a clean spiritual loop, the painting embodies the lived experience of cyclical growth—where creation, dissolution, and renewal blur together in a raw, chaotic cadence, reflecting the symbolic repetition of birth, life, death,and rebirth as it is actually felt in the body and psyche.
