Liquid Tara

Liquid
Tara is a meditation upon the many faces of the
sense of the Divine Feminine. Both ethereal and earthy, the work undulates in
watery images of icons and symbols of The Divine, dissolving one into the
other. Destruction by fire; resurrection to light: ever-changing cycles. Within
the video graphics, one sees the actress Ione portray some of the many faces of
acknowledging the metaphor of the many qualities existing within. She moves
from the face of Green Tara of Enlightened Activity to the face of White Tara of
Compassion and Healing. She then transforms into the face of Vasudhara, the
goddess who grants not only physical wealth and abundance but also spiritual
wealth and abundance, and finally, into Mahakali the Destroyer, who has the
capacity to destroy all evil, keeping the element of feminine divinity pure. (Predrag Pajdic)
