Media Arts

I create artworks that explore the evolution of mysticism by analyzing the histories of esoteric language through new digital aesthetics. My work examines how symbolism and language have been utilized, interpreted, and imbued with spiritual significance over time. Integrating esoteric symbolism with NewMedia art technologies such as video, editorial photography, visual poetry and interactive installations, I examine the interplay between algorithms and human consciousness.

My work is reflective of the transformative power of divination and its ability to inspire visual narratives. Like tarot—visual poetry within the realm of creating open narratives, involves using imagery, typography, and visual elements to evoke emotions, ideas, and interpretations without strict adherence to conventional linguistic structures.
As a practicing Astrologist, I draw inspiration from the elements of nature and various spiritual practices, transforming them into insightful and accessible artistic expressions.

Darlings of the Divine

Darlings of the Divine/Darlings of Disaster is a pagan performance art group based in Calgary, Alberta. These spiritually charged shows include dance, battle, burlesque, poetry, meditation, sound healing, and cathartic performances from each performer based on folklore, esotericism, or personal stories. These photographs by Raveena Sivasuthan capture the electrifying energy during these shows.
