Saar is artistically inspired by investigations of the metaphysical world, and other intangible areas of knowledge. This piece is part of a series that explore the concepts of tantra through geometric patterns and symmetry. The center of the piece is a tantric diagram, and the eyes are drawn to it by the patterns around it. The small objects and earth tone palette completes the theme. The aesthetic calls to mind the look of victorian libraries.
