In "Sasmita Hamsa," an offering is not viewed as a ritual, but rather as a way to balance worldly temptations with inner clarity. A gold-studded red cloth draping across the desert represents a material offering amidst the harshness of a changing era. Two white swans (Hamsa) emerge as a symbol of ancestral wisdom responding to this offering, reminding us to always distinguish true value from mere illusion. Through this piece, the concept of an offering becomes a message or sign (Sasmita) passed down to the future: that we can still celebrate the beauty of the material world without losing our spiritual direction.
