Mayur (2015)

Mayur, which means “peacock” in Sanskrit, is a 7 min 42 sec 4K (4096 x 2160) resolution visual-music animated work inspired by Asian cosmologies, music and textiles. Digital animation features complex images that evolve from threads to roots and intricate vines, forming lace-like 2 and 3 dimensional structures, tiles, and living textiles in the colors of a peacock.

During a state visit to Singapore, H. E. Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi visited Nanyang Technological University on 1 June 2018. He is shown greeting and talking with Professor Vibeke Sorensen about her work, Mayur.
