About this artwork
Aum (ॐ) is the vibration by which the Supreme Spirit brings all things into manifestation. It is the Holy Ghost of the Christian Trinity. Paramhansa Yogananda has explained that everything — all matter, all energy, all thoughts — exists in Aum.
Alexander has made in his own depiction of Aum a new, impossible world of floating mountains and elegant pine trees. Fungi and mushrooms allude to an entheogenic inspiration for such a place. The two symbols… at the top and bottom of the drawing also represent Aum in Tibetan Sanskrit. Traditionally in India, Aum is chanted three times. One reason is to invoke the blessings to the three universes (or the three “bodies” the soul is encased in) — physical, astral, causal. Another is a reminder of these three aspects of Aum.
