Born of the Loam, Daughter's of the Horizon

2025, oil on canvas, 100 x 130cm

This painting unfolds within a landscape suspended between the earthly and the numinous. The sky and undulating hills, rendered in shifting blues and violets, evoke a realm of possibility - an expansive psychological terrain rather than a literal one. They suggest the sublime: something vast, unknowable, and charged with latent transformation. The rising figures can be read as a form of birth, though birth here is inseparable from death, decay, and return; the earth becomes not only a site of burial, but of regeneration, proposing a cyclical understanding of existence. Bound by delicate chains of roses, the figures appear tethered to one another through a shared origin, perhaps even an umbilical connection, invoking sisterhood and inherited femininity. The garlands become a quiet marker of potential - an attachment that both roots and readies them, suspended in the charged space between emergence and the boundless horizon beyond.
