The Indian vase piece at the top left is inspired from other traditional flower paintings. The design comprises depictions of plants abound in early Indian art, such as the carvings on temple walls, pottery designs, motifs on woven carpets and embroidered textiles, representations of the Buddha at Bodh Gaya, and illustrated folios from medieval manuscripts of Hindu epics. The flowers in the center of each section represents the sanctity of nature, and the beauty of a singular flower in the desolate depiction of empty ground.
The natural canvas painting on the bottom right depicts the tranquility and repose found in a simple life. The rising sun in the East highlights the opportunities provided by the new day. This was executed through the usage of acrylic paint, intentionally giving the piece a rougher texture.
The black-framed piece at the bottom left is a traditional "Rangoli" made using sands, glued upon a canvas, with a yellow base. Rangoli is a popular Indian art decoration typically drawn on the floors or entrances of homes. The pattern is very festive and is done on special occasions like Diwali, Onam, and Pongol. Not only symbolizing good luck and prosperity on the house and family, this piece highlights the traditional Indian motif of flowers and projects a regal design, which is aimed to attract the goddess Lakshmi on the Indian holiday of Diwali.
Finally, the colorfully patterned art at the top right is a depiction of "Ganesh" creating using colored pencils. The chaotic nature of the drawing represents Ganesh's multifaceted nature, his playfulness, his innocence, and his wisdom. Throughout Indian mythology I have always personally identified with Ganesha, and through this drawing I express my own identity.
