Probably the most esoteric and reflective piece of this collection, Spirituality [Pneuma] depicts the struggles of the psyche. The quest for spiritual enlightenment is a long and arduous one, with many dangers for us, the ‘’pilgrims’’. It is envisioned as an insurmountable mountain, but the careful observer can spot the solution. A little staircase is placed at the side aiding us to overcome the hardships and reach the top. There we come face to face with spirituality depicted as a raw, primal entity part snake part dinosaur. Something so ancient and so integrated in the human soul that takes the shape of a prehistoric being.
