In the tradition of Vedic astrology, Surya, Chandra, Budha, Mangala, Guru, Shukra and Shani are known as the Seven Devas. Each of them has its own qualities and is responsible for different aspects of life. The second theme — is the butterfly — as a reminder that everything in the world is temporary and subject to change. The «Meditations» series is an attempt to reflect the author’s combination of these two themes. Each work leads to awareness of the relevant aspects through meditation.
