ස්වයංජාත: ලවංග ජයසිංහ විසින් නිර්මාණය කරන ලද “ස්වයංජාත“, පැළඳිය හැකි මූර්තිමය නිර්මාණයන් හරහා පරිවෘත්තීය ක්‍රියාවලීන් ගවේෂණය කරයි. පැරණි අනන්‍යතා නව හැකියාවන් බවට පරිවර්තනය කිරීම, ශරීරය පිළිබඳ සාම්ප්‍රදායික අදහස්වලට අභියෝග කිරීම සහ තමා සහ පරිසරය අතර සම්බන්ධය ගැන ගැඹුරින් සිතා බැලීමට නරඹන්නන් යොමු කිරීම මෙම එකතුවෙන් අපේක්ෂා කරයි. 

A being, living or non-living continuously transforms throughout their life journey, into a new rebirth. In this cycle of death and rebirth, our journey is across a constant ensemble of pains and trajectories. Individuals can bear the hurdles in their life journey by accepting the outcome of inevitable changes.

When spontaneous birth occurs, what emerges may perhaps shed away its constraints as forms of ephemera. Disseminating its roots, identity, cultures, and habitats as formalistically structures and finding strength within its trajectories, can be considered as the true form of finding a pathway of healing within itself.

These wearables exist as conduits, carrying healing to our inner somatic psychology( Somatic psychology is a form of body-oriented therapy that uses techniques and holistic approaches to help people gain awareness of the body and heal themselves). These bodily extensions, spread awareness, and cosmic connectivity. Generate an oblique approach to repair, and heal themselves and their inner energies through the touch of connectivity.
