The Root Chakra is the very foundation of our being, the anchor that keeps us rooted to this earthly realm. Located at the base of the spine, this energy center is responsible for our basic survival needs, including food, shelter, and safety. When our Root Chakra is open and balanced, we feel grounded, secure, and connected to the earth. However, if it's blocked or out of balance, we may experience feelings of fear, anxiety, and instability. It's essential to nurture and maintain this fundamental energy center with love, gratitude, and mindfulness, for it is the foundation upon which our spiritual growth depends.
Chakra Harmony
A Visual Journey Through the Interconnectedness of Body, Mind & Spirit
"Chakra Harmony" is a contemplative gaze at the ancient concept of chakras. In his series debut, artist Oleg Sharov explores the flow of energy through our being and how it is intertwined with our physical and emotional states through the medium of black and white photographs of yoga pose silhouettes.
Each of the seven chakras is symbolized by a carefully selected yoga pose, representing a specific aspect of the human experience. From the grounding and security of the root chakra, to the spiritual enlightenment of the crown chakra - this series takes us on a journey through the different aspects of our energetic body.
The use of black and white imagery emphasizes the simplicity and purity of the chakra system, while the silhouettes add a touch of mystery and intrigue. These photographs are visually striking in hopes to inspire deep reflection and contemplation.
For those interested in spirituality, yoga, and the connection between the physical and energetic bodies, this series offers a visual feast for the soul. It is a reminder that we are not separate from the universe but rather an integral part of it, and that true peace and happiness come from balancing and harmonizing the flow of energy within us.
