This painting is a very personal take on the delicate yet resilient bond between humanity and the natural world. At the centre of the painting is the portrait of a woman. She looks calm and confident, showing the strong connection between our spirits and nature. Around her are three other symbols, each with its own story.
The bird, with its open wings, represents freedom and the boundless potential of the human spirit. It soars effortlessly, connecting the earthly with the ethereal and reminding us of our desire to rise above and explore the unknown.
The elephant represents strength and wisdom. A powerful yet gentle presence in the painting, the elephant symbolises the enduring memory and stability that connects us to the earth and its ancient rhythms.
The small flowers around the figure remind us of the beauty of life that is sometimes overlooked. They encourage the viewer to pause and appreciate the subtle beauty of growth, cycles and renewal in their simplicity.
Together, these elements create a story of harmony, resilience and wonder. I hope this work makes people reflect on their place in the universe and how everything in it is interconnected.
