Energy Manifestations

Energy is manifested through the interaction of primordial elements and is sometimes visible, sometimes not. There is a multi- dimensional unseen matrix resulting from this interaction and reflecting it, which is dynamic and constantly changing, evolving in many different ways.

All life forms are infused with Universal Energy or Consciousness, and are linked to one another. In each person there is a Male and a Female, the dynamic and static aspects of energy. There is also a balance of male and female, static and dynamic, in all Nature and Life. As the balance is achieved, the energies mingle, and sometimes a fusion takes place, creating perfect harmony.

Rekha’s paintings give a glimpse into the myriad forms in which energy manifests: human form blending with Nature, male and female, earth and water, darkness and light.

The lotus is a recurring motif, and it symbolizes inner unfoldment'.
Water is a symbol of love, communion and spiritual grace.
