One feminine force, endless emanations; Sophia – the giver of wisdom in so many forms. She is both Mary Magdalene as the earthly companion of the Christ in Christian Gnosticism and Mother Mary in her ascendant form as the all mother of compassion. She is Shakti in Sanskrit, the prevalent Hindu embodiment of feminine wisdom, and the personal and collective linking soul as atman, realised in the transcendental state of Samadhi. She is the kind-hearted Boddhisatva in Buddhism, returning to light the way to nirvana; personified by the deity Quan-yin. In Jungian psychology, she is termed as the merging power, individuation, of both the feminine and masculine archetypes, and of the lower self of the psyche with the higher spiritual self (Gnosis).

The Lion, a symbol renowned for courage, strength, and bravery. I received the inspiration for this creation through Archangel Michael. The lion's ability to conquer its prey in the dark symbolizes Michael's power over the forces of darkness. He is often invoked for protection against evil, danger, and temptation. He is viewed as the angelic model for the virtues of the spiritual warrior; his conflict with evil taken as 'the battle within'. Archangel Michael is often depicted as the Prince chief of the heavenly host, leading the angels of heaven in the war against evil wickedness in the shadows of the cosmos. He is the protector and guardian of humanity.

Metamorphosis - The internal transformational cycle of life, death and rebirth. Facing the end of one life cycle and embracing the challenges and changes that comes with embarking onto yet another path in the spiral of life. As the wheel of creation keeps on spinning and take us on different journeys to get to know ourselves deeper, so we flow and follow. Perhaps, seemingly, loosing the inner navigational compass on occasion. But to try and rise again we must. To keep on going despite what the outer dream reality looks like. The two colors of the skull symbolize the intertwining and merging of the feminine and masculine forces residing in us all. The prose poem Desiderata by Max Ehrman (1927) is partially an inspirational source to this piece.
