Entanglement

This series is an inquiry into "Entanglement" across various registers—philosophical, scientific, and the pragmatic realities of social, economic, and political systems. These drawings are the artist's response to this intertwining of interconnected energies, existences, and ways of being and non-being.

​

Vedic philosophy, particularly Advaita Vedanta, shares striking parallels with the concept of quantum entanglement in modern physics, suggesting a deep interconnectedness of all things. Both frameworks propose that reality is not composed of independent, isolated entities but rather a unified whole where everything is fundamentally connected.

​

Vedic texts mention the universe and all life forms being connected through vibrations or energy frequencies (Prāṇa or Vāyu), which can be seen as analogous to the vibrational modes of strings in string theory.

Entanglement can be interpreted as a reminder of our interconnectedness with others and the natural world, highlighting our responsibility to consider the consequences of our actions on others and the environment.

​

Drawing forth from the concept of entanglement discussed in Vedanta—part of the Upanishads (Hindu scriptures)—which raises fundamental metaphysical questions about the existence of separate entities and the nature of their interactions and correlation, the artist, through her drawings, explores the implications of such interconnectedness. Both quantum mechanics and Vedic philosophy are challenging our understanding of individual objects, causality, and the fundamental nature of reality by suggesting a deeply holistic and non-local universe.
