The artwork quotes a prayer from the religion Brahma Kumaris, descending from Hinduism:
"I am the being in the center of the forehead radiating God’s purity to every cell of my body. My body is healed with God’s energy. I am an embodiment of peace, the original nature of the soul."
The Brahma Kumaris is a Hindu spiritual movement that originated in Hyderabad, in Pakistan in 1936.
The Brahma Kumaris see humans as being made up of two parts; an external or visible body and a subtle energy of the soul whose character structure is revealed through a person's external activity.
The group teaches that the soul is an infinitesimal point of spiritual light residing in the forehead of the body and all souls originally existed with God in a "Soul World", a world of infinite light, peace and silence.
Brahma Kumaris believes God to be an incorporeal point of light.
This StarGate is part of a more extensive project: a series on world religions. The project, in which various works of different spiritualities and religions are part, wants to show and emphasise the differences contained in an anthropological reflection on the need to answer the human being’s existential questions. Where do we come from? Where did life originate? Where are we going? What exists after death? These questions have existed for as long as humans have, they are architypes of an unconscious that we call “collective” The different answers of different cultures are what defines the character of a religion. The artist dives deep into the world of spirituality looking for points of contact beyond differences without taking a position beyond that of the observer.
