Sacred Material, Sacred Form
The use of mercury in this statue is deeply significant. In Ayurvedic and Vedic lore, mercury is considered a potent substance, often associated with purity, transformation, and divine energy. It is believed to possess the power to cleanse and to amplify the spiritual vibrations of the space it occupies. The fluid nature of mercury, which paradoxically can be solidified and sculpted, is seen as a metaphor for the goddess's ability to manifest abundance from seemingly intangible sources. The intricate detailing of the statue showcases the goddess seated gracefully on a lotus, a symbol of purity, beauty, and spiritual enlightenment, further enhancing its divine appeal.
