Exploring the concept of the Bindu (the sacred seed of Hinduism and Buddhism) and the intersection of art and healing (neuro-aesthetics), this piece incorporates elements that have been shown to support positive outcomes for viewers like having clear imagery (leaves, flowers, and vines), soft edges (the sculpture is filled with Poly-fil, giving it a soft, comforting feeling), and a reference to nature (plants are linked to healing practices and medicine, and connecting with nature has many physical, emotional, and neurological benefits).
