DVA
Pairing pristine native stone and wood with the craftsmanship of temple artisans in Mahabalipuram, dvá is a sculptural form carved out of a monolithic stone. Inspired from ‘yoni’ and ‘lingam’ symbolism unique to ancient Indian iconography, this piece represents androgyny in our existence and the life force (light) born from the union of Shiva (being) and Shakti (energy).
The hand sculpted stone ‘yoni’ and the Indian walnut wood 'lingam' reconcile the former's unyielding, creative feminine energy with the effervescent vitality of masculine energy in the latter. This contemporary symmetrical structure celebrates form and space; challenging materiality and embracing the raw, natural textures of these primordial elements.
Dvá embodies the power of the union, the tenacity of individual energies, and the vitality of balance between male and female sensibilities.
