Gigi, Oil on Canvas ,2021, 71 x 100 cm

This artwork serves as an exploration into the aesthetics of care and interconnectedness, where the portrayal of a Shintoist priest becomes the focal point. The artist strives to evoke a sense of harmony and balance inspired by Shintoist thought of “kami”. This thought explores, divine spirits or deities believed to exist between humans, the environment, and the divine. This painting looks at a return to nature and to indigenous voices that hold knowledge, we can use to manoeuvre through a damaged world.
