Arsh Minhas's Echoes of Awakening, 2024
This piece embodies the first realm of the Om symbol: the waking conscious. The vivid red smoke, morphing into hounds, symbolizes the relentless chaos that flourishes through neglect and disregard. These hounds create a tumultuous environment, compelling the subject to remain awake amidst the cacophony and turmoil. This scenario directly reflects the "wake" in the waking realm, capturing the essence of being constantly alert and aware. The intricacies and symbolism are intricately woven into the surrounding details, enriching the core meaning without overt explanation. Each element, from the swirling smoke to the dynamic forms of the hounds, contributes to a layered narrative that invites introspection. Through this chaos, the piece explores the tension between awareness and disturbance, drawing the viewer into a contemplative space where the waking conscious is both a state of being and a reflection on the nature of perception itself.
