She that spreads

The exhibition “She That Spreads The Winds” is named after one of Dr.Gindi’s Sculpptures , a small bronze depicting a twisting figure seemingly caught in a vortex of swirling winds – unless she is controlling them.

 

The artwork featured in the exhibition explores our interconnection with nature. Just like the winds, we are also a force of nature.
However winds are a force that can only be seen through their impact. The metaphoric interpretation of who we are as human beings. The internal or spiritual, that which we cannot see and the external or physical, which is seen.

What are we able to do, to withstand, overcome, develop, amidst these times.

The artwork is also a personal reflection and interrogation as a woman, a mother and an artist.

 

An Influence of mobility.
Metaphoric /Spiritual

Physical/Literal
The winds could be anything. A situation, a song, a disease, a trend, a body cell, an emotion.
We are the winds. That fan the flames

We are clouds that move the wind and bring rain.
Moving parts of our bodies (arms, legs, fins, wings)

we escape, Survive and Soar on
We make the Trees dance

And yet we are the trees

Rooted and grounded

We are the song of the mountains

That no one can see but hear

And yet we are the mountains that stand

We are the Queens that carry the load and spread the winds.
