Conduits Sereis

This piece represents the heart chakra or Anahata. It is symbolized by a green flower with twelve petals. Each petal represents different aspects of the chakra when it is in balance. These are bliss, compassion, purity,unity, kindness, forgiveness, clarity, understanding, empathy,harmony, peace, and love. These qualities are radiating out of the woman’s heart chakra and are coming towards the viewer. Her arms are open towards the sky in a gesture of gratitude and love.

Lavinia is a character in Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus. She ends up getting her hands cut off and tongue cut out by the sons of an evil queen. This piece represents the transformation of Lavinia and her emotions that she could no longer speak.

In Greek mythology, Pandora was the first human woman. She opened a box out of curiosity and unknowingly unleashed all the evils of humanity. She managed to shut it in time to save Hope inside the box. This piece is about the moment she opened Pandora’s box.

To me ravens represent mind, thought, and wisdom.  The girl in the picture is being enlightened by the raven and is shedding her own skin in the process. “Lightly” is about the moment of becoming something more than yourself.

This is my first piece in resin. A conduit is a channel for conveying water or other fluid. The crow is present here representing sight and transformation. She is seeing with her mind not her eyes.
