Description

This work portrays the theme of spiritual metamorphosis. In Shona belief, all things possess a spiritual nature, called animism, in which everything has a soul. And, each soul may transform its physical being into another by allowing its soul to leave, wander. and return again. Transformation may take place at any time, into any form, and can be repeated many times during one's lifetime, both at will and unconsciously. This paradigm embraces the spiral dimension of time which explains much of the point of view of the Shona traditional mind and of its complex spirit world. They coexist as if spiritually connected like a living ribbon between all life formsƒanimate and inanimate.©To purchase this sculpture, please contact the front desk, or call 707-938-2200.
