One with Nature was created for a 3 woman exhibition titled Ties That Bind. The pieces in the series reflect Lisa’s interpretation of the theme by focusing on relationships that can both “bind” us and set us free, including our relationship with our mother, our relationship with our partner, our relationship with nature, our relationship with the world and our relationship with our God. African adinkra symbols are used to add an additional layer of meaning.
We often take for granted or ignore the natural world around us, yet we are connected to it nonetheless. This piece represents the importance that nature has in our lives - its ability to feed our bodies as well as our souls. The adinkra symbols reflect the abundance of nature, the wisdom we receive from nature, the joy we can receive from sitting in nature and the spiritual connection that can be found in nature.
