Bodhi Shola is a transversal artist referencing the intersection between art,

nature and spirit to explore sustainable and sensitive evolution.

​

Her practice is ritualistic, devoted to nurturing harmonious relationships among

the human and non-human realms, building awareness towards a conscious development of society. Her creation includes photography, creative direction of multi-sensorial experiences, writing and supporting guidance, informed by her experiences in contact with eastern philosophies , plant medicine and meditation.

​

The artistic work brings the metaphysical to descend into daily perception for a dreamlike vision that promotes the embodiment of a feminine sensitivity to reunite with the Earth. The process of experience is pivotal for the creation of the imagery, which is nourished by profound and personal observations on the relationship between the human body, the creative principles and the natural environment.

Through a spontaneous use of colour, the images take the function of revealing

a lived dream-like state, a space inhabited by feeling, magic and symbolical coding, independent from dogmatic understanding. The oneiric layer is transported

into the factual by the means of photographic imagery that documents

landscapes for preservation, medicinal plant species and and recreates

ceremonial practices honouring the connection to the spirit of Life.

The artistic creations and processes adopt products sourced from local and

fair-trade artisanal businesses, supporting women employment and equality

and the use of organic and compostable materials. Each element displayed

in the imagery is carefully chosen for its meaning, healing properties and

its relation to the location of the shooting.
