The Courtyard of Serenity II
A courtyard is a fascinating architectural space. The artist connects this space to a spiritual experience. Located usually in the very centre of strong built-up living areas and opening up to the skies and the elements, a courtyard seems to be synonymous to the spirituality that lies within us... that spirituality which opens our minds and bodies to the greater scheme of life itself.
Across cultures the courtyard is a space where people meet and bond. It is sacred to the concept of families, their beliefs and their love. In Hindu households the courtyard is the space where the sacred Tulsi plant is tended to and nurtured. Hence the parallel drawn to our internal sacred courtyard of love which we may adorn, nurture and help flourish. Our own courtyard of serenity.
