Brahmanda is an allegory about both the futility and absurdity of battle. The “accidental war” with its loss of both empathy and “eye for an eye” hostility dominate the perdition of our twin protagonists. A Sanskirt translation for Bramanda is “cosmic egg.” Ancient creation mythology is rich in references to this this theme. The birth of twins is another common motif in creation mythology which inspired the work. The epiphany of these ancient cosmologies and creation myths are woven together with our cultural obsession regarding ownership and material objects. They give credence to these archetypal themes. In the end we are all the same. “……ashes to ashes, dust to dust”.
