Yukta Taneja

Mukhi (face) is a visual meditation on the Rudraksha seed, believed to have stemmed from the blue-hued deity Shiva's tears in Hindu mythology. The photographic portrait series responds to the symbolism of an ancient seed and the fluid nature of the human condition. It reimagines connection to Shiva as a living, breathing relationship, nurtured through the hands, hearts, and memories of women. @yuktatanejaphoto
