This is a depiction of Isis as part of the cycle of 64 Dakinis. I call Her Rejeneratrix as She holds the power of regeneration, bringing her husband Osiris back to life. She stands between the twin portals of day and night, light and dark. She is guardian of the blue flame of immortality. The sheaf like pattern on the columns relates to Her rejenerative nature and associations with fertility and harvest. She is crowned in the horns of Hathor which cradle the solar sun disc. Within the disc on her head and in her third eye I have put a constellation being birthed.
I used effects on Her body to suggest a new kind of body being formed out of petrification.
The photograph was shot during the making of my video 'Dance of the Cosmos'.
