An unfolding dialogue in the heart of all forms of being

is capable of shifting meaning

within contemporary culture and society

​

The roots of conscious development descend 

into the intuitive sensibility to perceive

unity between all aspects of existence,

to preserve and reinstall sacredness

in a cyclical and spiritual perspective on life

Dimensions of Being_Bodhi Shola.jpg

Bodhi Shola is a transversal 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 creation includes photography, creative direction of multi-sensorial experiences, writing and supporting guidance, informed by her experiences in contact with eastern philosophies and practices for healing and longevity, plant medicine and meditation.

​

It is through the symbolical and dream infused language of the creative medium

that Bodhi Shola approaches the themes of the collective, supporting a vision of animistic consciousness. The oneiric layer is transported into the factual by the means of  imagery that documents landscapes for preservation and 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.

​

Bodhi Shola’s work has been exhibited in several group exhibitions including Fotografiska Museum ; Armani Silos, Milan ; Red Hook Labs Gallery, NY ; Beacon Gallery, Boston ; Leica Gallery, Milan. Her work has been presented in publications including The Ny Times Magazine, Vogue Italia, The British Journal of Photography and Atmos Magazine.
