Some call it a dance..they

call it worship. A matter of Faith. The Dancer moves her arm Just so.



The physical beauty and elegance is subjective.
For me they are both unsurpassed and spiritual.

Fahim, this is an excellent nicely composed graphic image, I really like this. This has to be on your wall, if not now pretty soon, no?

Paul, thanks for the kind words.

Two prints were made. Unfortunately I cannot allow any statues or photos of such items into my house.
Even the digital files have caused me untold grief.! And not only with immediate family members.

The same goes for people photographs other than family..those too not prominently displayed.

Kindest regards.


p.s. landscapes not bearing any religious symbols or reference to them and containing nature's works only are permitted in my house. Discreetly placed/hung.

This belongs as art! There are several issues about displaying such work in a religious home. first is the issue of idol worship. In the Jewish tradition, if one is really strict, this objection is overcome, at least in a sculpture. ("Thou hall not make a graven image!") by making sure there's a fault in it, such that it would be disqualified as an idol Still today, a picture such as this is not considered religious, as no one would use it in prayer, but rather just in celebration of our diversity. It's also a playground for our imagination. what I call the "sensotic space".

I'd be happy to have such a print! You have taken images and then gone the extra step to transform them to your will. The commonality for us to appreciate grace is illustrated here so well.

Lord have Mercy!!

I do not belong here. With or without Dante.
What hast thou wrought? What have I done to merit this damnation?

Is this to my end? All I have strived for has come to naught.

Hark! I hear the Angel. There might be hope yet.

Lord have Mercy!!

Fahim,

Like someone who enters the gates, you publish your picture and it's received this as Art. It now has its own life! That's the way it is!
