Per English philosopher Alan Watts, Maya is "...the Hindu-Buddhist word whose exact meaning is not merely 'illusion' but the entire world-conception of a culture, considered as illusion in the strict etymological sense of a play. The aim... of liberation is not the destruction of Maya but seeing it for what it is, or seeing through... ideas of the world and of oneself which are social conventions and institutions are not to be confused with Reality.
This mixed medium piece was originally painted on canvas and explores the feminine aspect (Yin) of Maya.
