But I needed something else. I needed something to go that extra mile, and I found it in that metaphor which I had learned from my mother when I was four.
但是我需要另外一些东西,我需要增加我的旅程,我在意象中找到了它,那是从我四岁就学起的。
The metaphor of Mahishasura Mardhini, of Durga. Durga, the mother goddess, the fearless one, created by the pantheon of Hindu gods.
湿婆神的意象杜尔迦女神。杜尔迦女神,无畏的神母,由印度诸神所创造。
Durga, resplendent, bedecked, beautiful, her 18 arms ready for warfare, as she rode astride her lion into the battlefield to destroy Mahishasur.
杜尔迦女神,辉煌、雍容、美丽,她的十八支手臂随时准备战斗,她乘坐神狮进入战场去毁灭水牛阿修罗。
Durga, the epitome of creative feminine energy, or shakti.
杜尔迦女神,女性创造力量的象征或者叫女性力量。
Durga, the fearless one. I made that image of Durga and her every attribute, her every nuance, my very own.
杜尔迦无畏的女神。我做成了杜尔迦女神的意象和她所有的属性和特质,我专属的意象。
Powered by the symbology of a myth and the passion of my training, I brought laser-sharp focus into my dance, laser-sharp focus to such an extent that I danced a few weeks after surgery.
