Ganapathi and Devi

Owner British Land

In the Hindu religion, Devi signifies "the Goddess", while Ganapathi alludes to the elephant go, Ganesh. In this work, Cox highlights the tensions and dualities at the heart of many belief systems - positive/negative, male/female, ying/yang, birth/death - as the two figures stand together, but apart.
