This piece explores the idea of being one with nature and the land. Each member of the family here has a spirit animal - a polar bear, the symbol of courage for the father; an owl, symbol of wisdom for the mother; and a fox, symbolizing cleverness for the child.
Created with layers of handprinted and painted papers, Japanese washi, paint, and ink separated with multiple layers of resin for a depth and complexity. The layers contain items that sometimes show and sometimes are hidden but they are there, part of the portrait of the inner person.
