This sculpture captures the moment when the outer world fades, and the inner world begins to speak. Its soft, continuous curves form a figure poised in quiet equilibrium, suggesting a mind settling into the rhythm of its own breath.
The rounded form at the base suggests a grounded seat, a stable foundation from which the practice rises. From this base, the two open circular shapes evoke the gentle symmetry of hands resting in the lap, palms turned upward, forming the dhyana mudra. Their hollow centers introduce space into the composition, mirroring the inner spaciousness sought in meditation: the clearing away of noise so presence can emerge.
The elongated head, lifted slightly, gives the sense of a mind turned inward rather than upward- attentive, centred, and calm. The deep, lustrous finish of the stone enhances the sculpture’s meditative character. Light glides across its surface slowly, emphasizing the seamless curves and the absence of sharp angles or interruption- a state perfect for meditation.
What makes this piece compelling is its abstraction: it frees meditation from literal depiction, capturing the essence of stillness, balance, and interiority. “Dhyan Mudra” becomes less a figure and more an invocation- an invitation to sit, and return to one’s centre, where silence becomes a sanctum.
