TOTEM POLES
Each image presents a distinct arrangement of painted branches, reminiscent of Totem Poles—symbolic structures traditionally used by Indigenous cultures to honor and commemorate ancestry, histories, individuals, or significant events.
As I created and painted these Totem Poles, I engaged in a meditative process, reflecting on the memories of loved ones who have passed away. This deep contemplation while painting served as a cathartic exercise, allowing me to immerse myself in their legacy.
