Shiva Nataraja (Lord of Dance) and Akshobhya (Buddha of the East)
My eternal truth is the Relationship with the Divine in Hinduism. I chose this because I found it interesting how unique the Hindu religion is. The unique nature of the religion is what intrigued me because their artwork, beliefs, traditions etc were so different from anything I had learned or known before. I chose the classic piece of Shiva Nataraja performing the Dance of Bliss. I chose this because I loved how symbolic the piece as a whole was. The sculpture elegantly represents so many themes and characteristics of Shiva. The brilliant use of symbolism in the piece I chose is what made me realize how important symbolism is to the Hindu's relationship with the divine.
