Using the Mind and intelligence layer of the Vedantic model of self, the artwork is based on an experience you went through and what you learned or took away from the situation.
This is a four-panel, hand-painted narration of an unpleasant memory and overcoming it with the help of my parents. These panels are created using the Pahari art form.
This is a representation of how my parent, wherever they are, whatever they are doing, are always standing right by me whenever I need them.
I used metaphors such as a tree and moon to represent my parents.
The tree keeps me grounded and has bounds me. The tree makes a canopy around me to shield me and protect me in any situation without thinking about Itself. While just like the moon is always present, it is not always that we see the moon, but it is always there. Similarly, my parents are my moon. They are always there for me, and the moonlight is the way he protects me, sometimes stark while sometimes meek, but always there.
In this frame, I have tried to depict the bitter incident as a devil, which is bringing negative energy. To show this I used colors such as grey and deep blue. while the little yellow at the corners shows, the brightness being wiped away.
It shows me sitting under a tree which is a representation of my mom, and a crescent moon which is emitting a little light, establishing the metaphors used throughout. The more blue and grey vertical lines show the gloomy, sad situation.
This frame is much brighter with a gibbon moon, while the tree leaves are also brighter yellow and form a canopy, where all the leaves are curving towards the girl to protect her while killing the devil. This depicts how my parents came down to protect me and see if I was okay.
The final frame depicts the girl standing up and in a more confident position while the tree still forms a canopy, but the colors used are brighter, The moon is now full, showing the complete presence, and the blue is negligible, showing that the paint or the sad situation has been combated and they have brought me out of the bitter situation.
