To visually communicate this theme, several elements recur throughout the series:

The Human Figure

The central figure in each painting is typically a nude woman, depicted in a state of vulnerability—meek, thoughtful, or introspective. However, the human figure can take different forms across the series, representing the universality of the themes explored.

Predatory Animal Skulls

In each piece, a predatory animal skull serves as a symbolic helmet, juxtaposing the fragility of the human figure with the ferocity at nature's core. These skulls harken back to our primal roots and evoke the fierce survival instincts buried within us. Future works will include lions, dragons, and other formidable creatures, each adding a unique layer of meaning.

Halos

Inspired by classical art, the use of halos in this series has evolved to symbolize the sanctity of life itself. These gilded circles are a nod to the divine miracle of human existence, suggesting that life, in all its complexity, is sacred and worthy of reverence.

Botanicals

Each painting incorporates floral or plant elements, adding another layer of symbolism. Botanicals represent both the fleeting nature of life and specific ideas. From roses symbolizing love and passion to dahlias denoting growth and positivity, the choice of flowers enhances the narrative of each piece. The meanings of these are intentionally open to interpretation, allowing each viewer to bring their own understanding to the artwork.
