Bridging Worlds

€2,250.00

Bridging Worlds is part of my exploration of energy and shared heritage. While learning about ancient civilisations in China, I noticed echoes with Irish beliefs from similar periods. This painting feels like a contemporary vision of a portal tomb, or dolmen, ceremonial sites considered gateways to the otherworld.
