This captivating piece is an exploration of ancient wisdom and the perpetual cycles of life, inspired by the profound imagery of this haiku written by Adah Parris,

"Mayan circles turn,
Ancestors rebirth within,
Crone's wisdom now blooms."

The artwork beckons viewers on a symbolic journey, interweaving elements of transformation and rebirth.

Central to the painting is a magnificent lotus, a timeless emblem of purity and enlightenment. Its roots penetrate deep into mystical waters, symbolising the enduring bond between the physical and spiritual realms. The canvas is awash in a palette of warm yellows, radiating illumination and wisdom, while white and red dots subtly mirror the transformative essence of the Amanita mushroom.

Incorporated into the design are the numbers 7 and 52, embodying the sacredness of time and life’s continuity, echoing the natural and cosmic order. A serpent is present, a metaphor for knowledge, renewal, and the endless cycle of life and death, adding a layer of mystery and depth.

Spirals throughout the piece signify the unending journey of growth and evolution, mirroring the spirals found in life, nature, and the cosmos. The water's surface, adorned with spiral rings from the lotus and its roots, creates a visual harmony, depicting the connection between external reality and inner depths.

"Whispers of the Ancestral Dream" is more than a painting; it's an invitation to introspection, a reflection on life's cycles, and a reminder of the timeless wisdom that guides us.
