The Story – The contemplative Voyageur
Invigorated from her voyage and standing on the precipice of a city unknown, the Voyageur finds herself in deep thought. The breeze from the sea plays with her robes as if beckoning her to come forward and see what lies ahead. The sky shifts in shades and colours populated by mysterious planets that are midway through their orbits. The Voyageur is unmoved by this cosmic spectacle. In her thoughts, she is already planning her course up ahead as no mountain, sea or sky can possibly slow her down.
With the Voyageur being the focal point of this artwork, the viewer cannot help but feel captivated by her unmoving presence. Her contemplative demeanour, the firmly held staff and the billowing robes are elements that invigorate one’s spirit of adventure and curiosity about what lies out there.
The Voyageur
Unburdened by restrictions or boundaries, the Voyageur is free to explore destinations undiscovered and experience sights yet unseen. This series is an homage to the spirit of the adventurous traveller, who lives beyond the fear of the unknown and navigates fantastical places that exist in realms of their own. Based around the culminating moment of the Voyageur’s journey, as she reaches the shores of a new utopian city, this series takes the viewer on a visual journey where fantasy meets history and technology merges with magic.
The series consists of 5 artworks that come together to visualize The Voyageur and her companion at the precipice of the unworldly city which she is about to enter. Each artwork is an individual exploration of the various elements at play: the contemplative Voyageur, the Arabesque city of the Future, the mysterious nine-tailed Fox (Kitsune), the majestic Vessels of the Skies and Seas. Examining each artwork, the viewers will find themselves longing to embark on a voyage of their own which takes them to a place beyond their fears, doubts and limitations.
