In Offering, Kali , the goddess of change and destruction , is depicted as a powerful embodiment of transformation. She wears a hood with the number 3 , a reference to the Holy Trinity , which carries both Hindu and Biblical symbolism. Kali is not just a force of destruction, but of healing transformation .
In her hand she holds a golden chalice , into which she offers her own blood —a powerful symbolism of personal sacrifice for spiritual growth . This ritual of self-giving opens the door to the higher, a reminder that true transformation often comes through sacrifice .
The burning trees with female hands add to the depth of the image. They can be interpreted as symbols of both destruction and creation , the process of transformation that always involves the destruction of the old to make room for the new.
Sacrifice is a visual ritual that challenges us to reflect on the deeper meanings of sacrificial sacrifice , change , and the power we find in personal sacrifice for the higher purpose of spiritual growth.
