With the health of the whole nation under threat, all we need is a little #Balance. Thank you, w1curates.
Artwork: ‘Balance’
Strength, power and protection – is what she is purposely symbolising by placing her hands gently together. Her eyes are closed, displaying her thick fringed eyelashes and letting others know that she is emitting a unique harmony internally and externally. She is surrounded by an unmistakable gradient of Klein Blue which is radiating a sense of boundlessness and tranquillity. This aura is carefully contrasted by her bouncy, vibrant and energetic blond hair. Combined together, these are the perfect elements to trigger a visually stimulating and exciting experience. All these poignant aspects portray the perfect ‘Balance’ which encourages a moment of stillness and reflection in whoever may be viewing. Text: Luisa Manillo
Inspired by Conservation International’s film ‘Mother Nature’, Deborah explains… “A strongly placed female hand lays open whilst delicate but perfect Red Rose petals fall gently into it representing love. The same hand is simultaneously birthing a large blue tsunami of water giving life, and feeding essential nutrients into the planet that we are lucky enough to call home. The mountains are juxtaposed with two white Calla Lily’s representing peace – beautiful, fragile, and exquisite flowers standing tall, cushioned by their vivid emerald green leaves. All are a sentiment to the purity of life and the beauty that is vigorous with undeniable fragility which ‘Mother Nature’ holds in the palm of her hand. She is the force that makes the wind sing, she is the essence that makes your senses ignite. She is dusk, she is dawn, she is everything you know. She is ‘Mother Nature’.”
Conservation International’s mission is to protect the nature we can’t live without. In 30 countries around the world, they use science, policy and partnerships to solve the most pressing challenges facing our forests, rivers, oceans and other at-risk ecosystems — our greatest allies in confronting and curbing climate change. www.conservation.org
