Varanasi Sage is designed to connect people with their intrinsic, core qualities, and move them out of their ego into presence. It connects people with the philosophy underlying the art: true wisdom belongs to the natural, non-human world. This piece suggests the natural world is superior to humans' destructive ego. It shows the wisdom of compassion, gentleness, and vulnerability — and elevates these to divine standing.
