Pathways of Belonging
In Pathways of Belonging, fluid layers of rich earthy tones—bronze, copper, and soft pearlescent white—flow across the canvas, blending to create serene, organic textures reminiscent of ancient rock formations. The layered colours bring depth and warmth, grounding the composition with hues that feel both timeless and familiar. Atop this harmonious background rests my Journey Home stencil, an original design symbolising my personal journey of returning to New Zealand, reconnecting with identity, and exploring culture. The stencil, rendered in metallic copper with subtle touches of pearlescent white, seamlessly integrates with the landscape, embodying a path back to heritage and the enduring bond with one’s roots.
