Description
This is a free adaptation of the indu tradition of creation and the role of the lotus in it, as I read it in an interesting Italian book called Florario by Alfredo Cattabiani. "As Vishnu was resting in the ocean, a lotus rosed from his navel...it was so big that it could contain the entire world. That Lotus generated Brahma and, with the powers of the sleeping God, he generated the world". That's the baby full of light. At the same time, the cosmic lotus is also considered the symbol of the Goddess Shri (also known as Lakshmi), essentially considered one of the representations of the Great Mother (if I understood correctly ).
I thought these two tales would work well together in this piece.
As an extra touch, since I have been watching Fringe and have been ensnared in the tale of parallel universes and alternative realities, I represented the multiple realities as a reflection of the Goddess in a imaginary cosmic mirror.
