Circle of Life

This Gond artwork presents a striking fish–turtle medley, symbolic of balance and the interconnected cycles of life. The large turtle, adorned with concentric patterns and a central eye motif, represents endurance, protection, and the cosmic base in Gond storytelling. Upon it rest vibrant fish, their textured scales and fluid forms embodying abundance, continuity, and sustenance.

The bold orange background heightens the visual energy, transforming the piece into a powerful narrative wall installation. True to Gond philosophy, the artwork does not merely depict animals but conveys their spiritual essence as guardians of nature, emphasizing harmony between land, water, and cosmic life.
