The living body-mind inherently wants to realize the matrix of life, wants to allow the light into the “room”. Making it possible for human beings to fulfill that impulse is what I work to do. My images are created to be a means of participating in reality as fundamental light…. The “room” is where the “focal point” of ego happens. Ultimately, when the camera is transcended, there is no longer a “room” at all—but only love-bliss-brightness limitlessly felt, in vast unpatterned joy.

—ADI DA SAMRAJ

“I’m with Adi Da: the issue of life—and art—is how to enter ‘the domain of intimacy—where people are involved with the profundity of fundamental human existence.’… Indeed, again and again Adi Da’s photographs convey a sense of aesthetic as well as physical ecstasy. Virtually all of his images are masterpieces of abstraction—ecstatic visions of the female body that are simultaneously formal epiphanies.”
