Moths to a Flame

30 x 40 cm
Acrylic on canvas

Please note: The background includes vibrant fluorescent tones that may not be fully visible in photographs.

This smaller, modern piece was inspired by a puja in India, where a lit diya (sacred lamp) was placed on a tray with marigold flowers and waved before the Goddess at a friend's house. 

The moths, like awareness itself, are drawn to the flame.
Awareness is attracted to awareness.
The Self sees the Self in all.

A vibrant and symbolic piece of contemporary sacred art, this work blends spiritual ritual, nature, and insight — a reminder of the beauty and mystery in simple moments of devotion.
