Story behind the creation:
This artwork stands out from my other creations, as its foundation has been entirely
different from my usual process. She is the result of a kind of self-reflection, and the
image recalls emotions I have experienced on an inner journey. A handful of times
in my life, I have embarked on what one might call spiritual journeys, delving into the
depths of my inner self with the aid of jungle medicine. The last of these journeys was back in 2022 and it took an unexpected turn for me. After that, I worked on this piece, for a long time and it has been a form of therapeutic work for me.
Certain feelings and experiences are impossible for me to put into words, so I do what
I do best - attempt to express them visually. And with this particular work, it feels so
meaningful. I cannot precisely articulate what the image is meant to convey; it’s a
jumble of emotions mixed with a mini-trauma. However, during my journey,
I experienced eye contact between myself as an infant, Mother Earth, and my own
mother. It represents a moment when a myriad of puzzle pieces fell into place for me.
So, welcome to my “Pachamama” artwork. Brave to use that word, I know. But it’s an
image of love and maternal protection. That being said, I choose not to delve deeper
into the additional narratives within the work. It is somewhat private, and besides, the
image itself is quite mysterious - even to me, and I’d like to preserve that mystery.
The original piece is made as a sewn paper and fabric collage and the tiger / snake
is made of gold paper and real goldleaves.
