"East Koi" |
|
||||
2004 |
|
||||||
This original oil painting is based on Old Master's Talisman, a magic taoist diagram that was believed to rid dwellings of evil spirits and cure epidemics. One of a set of seven, this charm is to be used only in the eastern quarters of the house. The others in the set are specified for other areas of the house including southern, western and northern quarters. The diagrams were concerned with the art of fixing the sites of a house in mystic harmony with ch'i, the cosmic energy. Geomancy (feng-shui) was born of this concept. Toula has recreated this talisman in harmony with koi fish, symbolic of ch'i, and a universal symbol of good luck. |
