Artist Statement
Let us embrace the harmonious duality of yin and yang in our physical bodies, families, societies, and the world.
Living in South Africa, the vibrant Ndebele art captivates Sindi’s attention and also serves as a reminder of her cherished Taiwanese and Hakka heritage. These artworks reflect her respect for diverse cultures and her desire for unity and harmony among individuals, families, societies, and the world. Why choose a round canvas? In Taiwanese culture, the circle symbolizes fulfillment, unity, oneness, and perfection. In Inca culture, gold was believed to be the sacred sun's sweat (Inti) and represents masculinity, while silver was believed to be the tears of the moon (Mama Quilla) and represents femininity.
UNITY - EMBRACING DUALITY BENEVOLENTLY 1
The feminine is harmoniously embraced by the masculine represented by gold, the sun, and Inti. In this balance, women can fully express their femininity while also embracing their masculine qualities. They can bloom with resilience and perseverance, akin to plum blossoms thriving in the harsh winter of the South. In the South, fire is the elemental symbol. Courageously cleanse and purify old toxic beliefs about females and oneself that have been ingrained by culture, society, and family. Transform and renew through the purifying power of fire. The plum blossom holds deep significance in Taiwanese culture as a symbol of resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity, blooming vibrantly amidst harsh winter conditions.
UNITY - EMBRACING DUALITY BENEVOLENTLY 2
The masculine is harmoniously embraced by the feminine represented by silver, the moon, and Mama Quilla. In this balance, men can fully express their masculinity while embracing their feminine qualities. They can grow independently and powerfully, much like pine trees flourishing in the East. In the East, water is the elemental symbol. Allow the cleansing waters to wash away old and toxic beliefs about males and oneself that have been shaped by culture, society, and family. Find balance through this process. The pine tree holds symbolic value in Taiwanese culture, representing longevity, virtue, and solitude. It is also associated with masculinity and power.
FLOWER OF HEART - OPENING A PORTAL TO THE DIVINE REALM
May the radiant golden and colorful light, along with the merits of sutra-coping, heal and nourish us, reminding us of our inherent wholeness and divinity.
AWAKENING THE DIVINE MASCULINE WITHIN
Many moons ago, a lady observed my painting and suggested that I was capturing someone's spirit guide. Could he be your spirit guide?
