Rachel Worthington: Art and the Divine



Religious art communicates emotions and messages to the audience. This image tells the story of human existence. In the center is Brahman. The entirety of life comes from Brahman. As the painting shows, the souls who did not reach enlightenment are again reborn through the earth, as we are now. Once the souls have reached enlightenment, they divorce the worldly and can be free from rebirth. This painting illustrates the connection between nature, beauty, humans and the divine. Since the divine and nature share a relationship, we all are one with nature and the divine, yet we are separate as well. As we spring from nature, the way in which we can find Brahman is through nature.
