Abstract

Ancient pathways, is a painting representing identity. That a persons identity is more than who the individual is, that a connection linked to the past runs parallel and in its own way shapes the future in how evident or not it seems to be. To walk on the ancient pathway starts by the individual coming to terms with themselves. An unpacking and a letting go of cultural baggage to find the inner self is also the beginning of being in touch with yourself. Motivations and what drives you is realised as you begin your spiritual journey of self discovery.
