Bà Chúa Xứ, The Light of Creation

“In the light of nothing
Comes the darkness of all

Writhing and flying
In the eternal dance
Of Chaos and Order

Then, like the silence of a song
Her voice breaks the din

‘I am the child or the air and earth
Daughter of fire and water
Mother of the sires
Of the rising sun’

‘I am Hòa Bình
The peace in your minds
As you journey through life’

‘I am L òng Thương Xót
The mercy you seek
In your troubled times’

‘I am Mong
The hope that you yearn
For a better life’

Then silence comes
Her lips as cold as stone
Ever watching
Ever guiding

Her children
Into the light”

just read some comments and replies, there still remains a question - from where did you get the words?
i was in your gallery before and i have the same feeling again - i think "this is not my cup of tea" and then i'm so very fascinated by your very skilled and detailed work, that i can't get away, haha... :D
bravo to your gallery... :D

Thank you very much Diet

Each time I create an artwork, I am in a semi-meditative state and the prayers / poets usual are composed while I am drawing

Thanks Alexandra

While in Vietnam I was very much inspired by their culture and later it was further sparked by meeting a woman who literally looked like goddess . . . my personal Ba Chua Xu

Thanks

Funny thing was after meeting the woman who inspired this work, I could find anyone (here in the Philippines of in Vietnam) to be a model and capture that very essence of beauty . . . so I had to get a Korean woman to stand in for that Vietnamese girl

That is funny. I wonder if the piece would of turned out differently with a different model.
