Julian Assange appears as the fallen Archon of Mercury, plummeting from the heavens after being struck down by dragons. His celestial descent is arrested only by the abyss below: a pit of crocodiles awaiting him, where the Statue of Liberty stands upon a pedestal amid the chaos. As he falls, a scroll slips loose from his belt—a final fragment of forbidden knowledge carried with him from the sky into the depths.
Painting
Ecofeminist paintings of the unseen threads of consciousness.
My work moves between two themes: the spiritual exploration of human existence through a mythical lens, and an ecofeminist, socio-political response to the environmental and systemic violence shaping our world today. My ongoing Goddess Portrait series is rooted in archetypes of different goddess mythologies around the world where I seek to reveal the hidden layers of identity, resilience, and consciousness, elevating real women into portals of divine power manifested in human form. These works seek to honor the sacred within the human and mundane, bridging personal history with collective memory through symbolic language. Parallel to this, my practice also confronts the trauma inherent in our current systems where I address the pressures of capitalism and the environmental degradation experienced as well as the emotional and spiritual costs of a world which is out of balance. Together, these two artistic explorations form a single inquiry: how do we thrive, transmute, and create meaning in the midst of our perpetually changing world?
