"The Great Awakening" is a thought-provoking painting that encapsulates the idea of a global consciousness shift happening in our contemporary world.

 

In this striking artwork, the juxtaposition of 1950s school chairs suspended in the sky serves as a powerful symbol of old-fashioned, outdated teachings and beliefs being elevated and challenged by the winds of change. The birds, depicted in various stages of growth and flight, symbolize the diverse journeys and perspectives that individuals are embracing during this awakening.

 

The central figure, a young girl with her back to the viewer, symbolizes the courageous act of unlearning and breaking away from conventional wisdom and dogma. Her forward stride represents the path towards self-discovery and a departure from preconceived notions.

 

"The Great Awakening" inspires reflection on the collective journey towards greater awareness, transformation and a new era of understanding in the ever-evolving landscape of human consciousness.
