The Mudra Within: A Logo of Gesture and Presence

Inspired by the ancient language of Mudras, Ritu Raj’s logo is more than a mark—it’s a gesture in motion. A visual meditation on presence, emotion, and the quiet power of abstraction.

This logo began not as a design—but as a feeling.

Inspired by the Mudra, the ancient language of hand gestures, it speaks through curve and movement. In Indian classical traditions, Mudras are never static. They are flowing expressions—each position of the fingers a shape of meaning, an emotion made visible. In abstraction, this becomes even more powerful.

The form of the logo echoes a hand mid-gesture, or a cluster of fingers curved in slow motion—opening, receiving, releasing. The overlapping shapes suggest motion within stillness, like petals unfolding or waves caught in a spiral. There's a sense of breath here. Of something both rooted and reaching.

What you see might be a blooming shape. Or a bird. Or a palm in prayer. That’s the beauty of abstraction—it invites us to look again. To feel first, then interpret.

For me, this logo is less about identity and more about essence. It represents my practice: intuitive, layered, evolving. A visual meditation on how even the subtlest gesture—like the turn of a wrist or press of a thumb—can carry deep emotional resonance.

This symbol is a quiet offering. It asks for pause. For presence. For attention to the unseen. Like the art it stands beside, it doesn’t demand to be decoded. It simply invites you to enter the space it holds.
