Honoring the Directions: The East
Acrylic on canvas, 12"x36"
In the painting "Honoring the East," the vibrant energy and new growth symbolize the themes of rebirth and renewal associated with the eastern direction.
At the center, the striking red quetzal bird takes flight, its majestic form evoking the enlightenment and soaring vision connected to the east in Mayan traditions; the eagle, in Native American traditions and the Buddha, from the east. Surrounding the bird are the lush, reaching branches of the ceiba tree, its deep roots grounded in the earth while its towering structure aspires heavenward.
This interplay of earthly and celestial elements conveys the east's role as a portal of transformation and spiritual awakening. The painting celebrates the sunrise, the sprouting of new life, and the ascendance towards greater wisdom and illumination.
