This framed A5 size Madhubani painting of Lord Shiva in Ardhanarishvara form is symbolizing the oneness of all beings.  

One of the 64 manifestations of Shiva, the man, woman form with Parvati constituting the half of Shiva is Ardhanareeswara. Ardhanarishvara is the androgynous combination of Shiva and his consort Parvati, split down the middle as half man half woman. Ardhanarishwar is said to characterize the fusion of the masculine and feminine energies of the world - representing a constructive and generative power. As Ardhanarishvara, Lord Shiva harmonizes the two conflicting energies. 

Similarly everywhere in nature, animate or inanimate, we find in every individual or particle a tremendous urge to be united with something else, outside, or inside.
