The Equanimity Project is the culmination of a year long experience as to what stays and what leaves. And bowing down to the grace of acceptance. The lotus is revered as a symbol of equanimity in many faiths, thought to remain unaffected by all vicissitudes that comes in it’s way. The process of gathering, treating, pressing and drying parts of the lotus was a journey through an unknown terrain, innovating and creating new methods of building assemblages, following the gut and common sense. But the gut mostly. The assembly of the 19 compositions found it’s base on BFK Arches paper. The red thread winds through each piece. Balance.
The Equanimity Project is a collaboration between artist Padmaja Chandrasekhar and photographer Jayanarayanan Kakkara.
