ṚTA - The Cosmic Order is a contemporary visual exploration of an ancient Indian idea: that existence is not random, but shaped by an underlying rhythm of order, balance, consequence, time, transformation, and renewal.
My starting point was an ancient Indian cosmic sculpture from The Metropolitan Museum of Art. I was inspired by its idea of many forms existing within one unified whole. Rather than recreating the original sculpture, I explored that philosophy through a series of visual experiments in FLORA.
The final work imagines a mysterious cosmological artifact—a map of existence where nature, civilization, cause and consequence, cyclical time, dissolution, and rebirth exist as interconnected layers.
The creative process moved through multiple directions: sculptural forms, immersive cosmic structures, contemporary installations, and finally an ancient-future cosmic map. The final piece asks a simple question: What if the universe itself could leave behind a map explaining the order that holds everything together?
ṚTA is not chaos or rigid law. It is rhythm-the eternal movement through which worlds emerge, transform, dissolve, and begin again.
