"Windows To The Soul" by Ash Rader
In "Windows to The Soul," I invite you to explore the beauty that exist within the eyes of the animal kingdom. This collection of mixed-media resin pieces, adorned with 24k gold, focuses on the most intimate and revealing aspect of these magnificent creatures: their eyes. For me, the eyes are not just organs of sight; they are profound gateways to their very essence. They speak volumes of the untamed spirit, the instinctual wisdom, and the enigmatic beauty within each animal.
The resin adds depth and dimension, giving each piece a tactile, almost living quality. It also provides a reflective surface, much like the surface of a still pond, mirroring the depth and complexity of the animals' emotions. The incorporation of 24k gold is a symbol of reverence and adoration for these animals. It elevates their presence, highlighting the regal nature of their existence. Just as the eyes are often referred to as the "windows to the soul," the gold accentuates the importance of these creatures in our world and the interconnectedness of all life forms.
I aim to draw attention to the mesmerizing beauty, fragility, and resilience of the natural world. I hope these artworks serve as a reminder of the intricate web of life that surrounds us and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
