Mara is the Lord of Illusion in the Buddhist World View. It takes the form of the infinite number of distractions that draw atention away from the raw and rugged truth of the unvarnished present. Dhyana is another word for meditation, or focused concentration without wavering distraction. This piece explores the dymamic balance between the two. The title collage on the back reads, "Mara & Dhyana, 9/20," and is signed by the artist.
