Student Narrative
The genesis of this book is deeply intertwined with a profound moment of inspiration that unfolded within the tranquility of a meditation session. As I delved into the serenity of contemplation, a vivid and evocative image sprouted in my mind. They are ethereal, symmetrical, illusory yet gorgeous. Through the use of visual forms, I strive to encapsulate these elusive and abstract meditative moments, which serve as the gateway to my spiritual world. Each stroke and image aims to unlock the door to the depths of introspection and offer a glimpse into my inner world.
