Saar is artistically inspired by investigations of the metaphysical world, and other intangible areas of knowledge. This work is a revisitation of the tantra, and depicts a sacred space. In the center is a dark, ornate, archway that has a statue of Moses protruding. Under that is a small Buddha votive, and to the sides are small serpents. This work makes commentary on male religious figures and imagery.
