සුජාත: කුමුතු රණසිංහගේ මෙම නිර්මාණ එකතුව මගින් භෞතික හා අධ්යාත්මික ලෝක අතර අනන්යතාවය සහ සබඳතාව ගවේෂණය කරයි. සංකීර්ණ මෝස්තර සහ සාම්ප්රදායික නොවන ද්රව්ය භාවිතා කරමින්, මෙම කලාකරුවා පැවැත්මේ මූලාරම්භය සහ පැවැත්මේ ස්වභාවය ගවේෂණය කිරීමට අපවෙත ඇරයුම් කරයි.
“Prakrithi”: A primal creative or natural force. It connotes the natural or original intended state of something or an individual’s being. The term is derived from the Sanskrit pra, meaning “beginning,” and Kriti, meaning “creation.”
“Purusha”: The soul of the universe, the universal spirit present everywhere, in everything and everyone, all the time. Purusha is the Universal Principle that is eternal, indestructible, without form, and all-pervasive.
The culmination of these two eternal energy sources creates a being closer to the pure source of divine regeneration. Perhaps one must consider this form as a mutant monstrosity or it can emerge as a balance between the divine regeneration and or true form of beginnings.
This series of bodily extensions emerges as new beings of delicate formations, retaining their true cosmic harnessing and cultivation. Perhaps their mirrored monstrosity is a form of a connecting nodule to our inner energies of natural force and birth.
