Spotty Dottie resembles a bridal veil, its dotted white field framing a cross that is both ornament and invitation. The restrained palette highlights the structure, clean, graphic, ceremonial. The piece plays with the idea that surrender is not dramatic but surprisingly gentle, like lifting a veil and finding that the seeker and the sought are the same.
In this series, the artist turns to the cross not as a symbol of religion, but as a symbol of surrender- the moment where individuality drops and one discovers what remains when the “I” is no more. The works are inspired by ornate historical crosses, the quiet power of bejewelled forms, and the idea echoed across cultures that awakening happens only when the seeker disappears.
Every canvas is embedded with hand- picked Indian textiles, chosen like small relics of devotion- cloth that once touched human hands, markets, households. The cross becomes an object of contemplation, not to convert anyone, but to shift the energy of a room: a reminder that the self is one, that innocence must be protected, and that beauty itself can be a door to stillness.
