In this oil painting, I sought to capture the essence of spiritual freedom and unity with nature. A large, vibrant, magical bird soars high in the sky, full of colour and life, representing the spirit’s boundless potential. Below, a small figure stands with her back to the viewer, arms outstretched as if about to take flight. She is grounded yet reaching, symbolising the desire to transcend earthly limitations. In this scene, the bird and the human are deeply connected — they are one in spirit.rnrnThrough this imagery, I wanted to explore the idea that when we release ourselves from the self-imposed prisons of the mind, we can experience a true sense of liberation and connection with the world around us. This echoes Jung’s understanding of birds as powerful symbols of the soul’s yearning for freedom, embodying the journey toward higher consciousness. Like the bird, we are invited to rise above, to evolve and find unity with something greater than ourselves — a reminder of the spirit’s potential to grow, transform, and connect with the divine.
