Bodhi Shola is a female artist exploring consciously interconnected living

through photography, writing and ritualistic artworks ,

placing presence into the space that unites intimacy, sacredness and Nature.

Her practice is devoted to cultivating harmonious relationships

among the human and more-than-human realms,

building awareness towards a sensitive development of society, nurturing an animistic vision.

Her work is informed mainly by deep listening, in relationship with

elemental wisdom, plant consciousness and meditation.

The process of integrated experience is vital 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 lucid

dream-like state, a space inhabited by sensitivity, symbolical readings,

independent from linear and dogmatic understanding.

The oneiric layer descends into matter by the means of photographic imagery that addresses

vulnerable collective themes and documents landscapes for preservation and regeneration,

as well as creating ceremonial practices honouring the connection to the spirit of Life.

The artistic creations and processes adopt resources from local and ethical trade artisanal

businesses, supporting financial 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 landscape it lives in.
