My theme for past decade has been to bring to light the importance of appreciating the power and beauty of the feminine as an incubator of all creation.
This sculpture is a fusion of the Madonna image (goddess) recognised almost universally and the general form of the vulva as so worshipped in Hindu culture among others. I propose this as complement to the many phallic forms that have been celebrated worldwide for millennia.
