The Domestic and The Wild

This painting, depicts two facets of the Indian woman to symbolize the duality she carries within her
.
Kali represents the wild and ferocious spirit, with power equal to a hundred gods. Pictured with untamed hair and wearing a garland of skulls and the hands of slain demons, she is even shown here with the power to kill Shiva.

The tamed domestic one reflects traditional societal expectations, shown with neatly combed hair and adorned in a fine silk saree, jewels, and vermillion to mark her role as a woman with a home to manage.

This dichotomy serves as a powerful reminder that every woman carries the divine Kali within her, ready to awaken the moment her threshold of tolerance is reached
