The Yoni Project
A generative drawing of the most generative phenomenon amongst mankind.
The yoni is considered to be an abstract representation of Shakti and Devi, the creative force that moves through the entire universe. It is one of the most sacred icons of the Hindu Shaktism tradition, with historic arts and temples dedicated to it. In Indic religions and other ancient cultures the yoni has long been accepted as profound cosmological and philosophical truth, of the feminine potential and power, one mysteriously interconnected with the natural periodic cycles of moon, earth and existence. The yoni has served as a divine symbol from ancient times, and it may well be the oldest spiritual icon across many ancient cultures. I want to dedicate this project to the strongest woman I know. My Mother.
