Gaia Sophia

Watercolour on paper, 2025

120cm x 120cm

​​​​

A mandala invoking serenity within the turbulence and change of the world, tuning in to a sense of calm, unshaken presence within the web of Life. 

 ​

This strong presence is personified as beloved Gaia; embodiment of planet Earth, mother of all life, foundation of the physical world, the source from which everything emerges. And Sophia; embodiment of divine wisdom, holy spirit, the essence that permeates all of Life; together manifesting the substance and energy of Love, the divine sacred feminine force that unifies everything.

 

The water Lily ( Nymphaea Alba) is central to the design, representing the flowering of beautiful potential, shining spirit.
Golden threads of energy emanate from Gaia-Sophia, imbuing all and weaving all into wholeness. 

Other beings within this design of energy:
Bog bean, Iris, yellow water lily ( Nuphar lutea), common frog & tadpoles, ragged robin, banded demoiselles, water snails, water boatmen, pond skaters.
