I paint the body-ness of women and the body-ness of earth as an entity, which is in their serious endeavor to be rejuvenated. I decide to re-enter my understanding of my own body-ness to experience deeply the externality dimension or the social culture of the body-ness. There is an apprehension in the painting “The Great Renewal Rites”; on how the bodies of women are deemed petty or even dirty every time women are on their ‘period’ (menstrual cycle). The rites are also natural rites. The cycle of natural process and harbor a great power to ensure the continuity of life.
