Bodhi Shola is a female artist referencing the intersection between art,

nature and spirit to explore sustainable and sensitive evolution.

​

Her practice is ritualistic, devoted to nurturing harmonious relationships 

among the human and non-human realms, building awareness towards a

conscious development of society. Her work is informed by her experience 

in relationship with plant consciousness and meditation.

​

The process of lived experience is pivotal for the creation of the imagery, which

is nourished by profound and personal observations on the interrelation

between the human body, the creative principles and the natural environment.

Through a spontaneous use of colour, the images take the function of revealing

a lived dream-like state, a space inhabited by feeling, magic and symbolical coding, independent from dogmatic understanding. The oneiric layer is transported

into the factual by the means of photographic imagery that addresses social taboos and documents landscapes for preservation, medicinal plant species as well

as recreates ceremonial practices honouring the connection to the spirit of Life.

The artistic creations and processes adopt products sourced from local and

fair-trade artisanal businesses, supporting women employment and equality

and the use of organic and compostable materials. Each element displayed

in the imagery is carefully chosen for its meaning, healing properties and

its relation to the location of the shooting.

​
