The New Yorker : Kali Amman

Commissioned by The New Yorker for the Mother's day edition, this poster was inspired by Kali/ Kaliamman as she's called in South India. She is one of the most eminent goddess in the Indian mythology and is considered to be a strong mother-figure and symbolic of motherly-love. Kali also embodies "shakti"- feminine energy, creativity and fertility. To symbolize a contemporary mother in India the artwork replaces the ancient elements in her hands with modern day objects to symbolize the skill and effort of mothers that manage their work and home life simultaneously.
