Artist's commentary
Nandi
It is truly the symbol of a fertile land...a guardian who assures blessings.
But it has a laid-back personality. One cannot help but chuckle at the sight of it sleeping so soundly.
When the two of us ride on its back, it gets up slowly as if it's annoyed, and begins to trudge forward.
And then I would bury my face in his back. I do that so nobody can see me blushing.
...But then again, don't you think this is all a bit too much like one of those romantic coming-of-age films? At least for a goddess?
Ugh...I'm getting sooo embarrassed!
