Tranquility
In Tranquility, Simha explores various watercolor techniques to convey the balance between chaos and tranquility. She incorporates elements of Hindu culture to create a feeling of peacefulness amidst a turbulent background of space and rushing water. The word “tranquil” floats above the head of a four-armed woman depicted to be meditating, indicating an inner calm despite the surrounding disorder. Her use of vibrant colors against a dull background brings out the figures “inner peace”, and helps to communicate the overall emotion.
