Ka 18x24 inches Acrylic and puff paint on canvas. Collab btw Tiffany epiphany and myself. The Ka (kꜣ) was the Egyptian concept of vital essence, that which distinguishes the difference between a living and a dead person, with death occurring when the ka left the body. The Egyptians believed that Khnum created the bodies of children on a potters wheel and inserted them into their mothers bodies. Depending on the region, Egyptians believed that Heket or Meskhenet was the creator of each persons Ka, breathing it into them at the instant of their birth as the part of their soul that made them be alive. This resembles the concept of spirit in other religions.
