Sunset Flight

Oil on Canvas - 190 x 90 cm 

This piece questions the concept of life & death - is there a beginning and an end? Or does it all exist simultaneously, circling through in a never-ending cycle. How do you view time and space? 

Highlighting themes of migration, identity and surrender it is both grounded and celestial. 

“Te ara whanui a tane” represents the pathway for souls to the afterlife, “te whatu o te atua”, the eye of the God.

When I see the shimmering road the sunset creates upon the sea, I come to see the pathway to the eye of God, and it moves me simultaneously to grief and gratitude for the miracle of life. 

This painting is a story of life’s journey and spiritual ascent.
