Upekkha उपेक्खाा
Upekkha or उपेक्खाा in its original script translates directly into "equanimity" in Pali, the language the Buddha used to teach. Upekkha can be thought of as stability of mind, or the ability to be calm and accepting of conditions no matter what factors may arise. An additional translation of Upekkha which highly resonates with the artist is “Non Discriminatory awareness” which the artist understand as being equally aware of all present phenomena without placing special emphasis on any particular detail, especially in relation to observing physical sensations on the body as is done in Vipassana Meditation. Equanimity is of the utmost importance in the practice of Vipassana Meditation as taught by the Buddha. Black and white india ink is the only medium used. This piece is covered with a single coat of epoxy resin which brings out incredible shine that can be truly appreciated in person as lights reflect onto the work from different angles. Painted using an airbrush and different techniques which involve the artists breath and glass pipette.
