About The Artwork
Location: Great Barrier Reef, Australia Subject: Hawksbill Turtle (Life-size) Poetic Narrative: The earth spins as its axis roll, While for decades long he plays his role. He swims calm on waving forms, Offering food and shelter to tangs and all. For his wrinkled skin and hardened home, Are the place from which he was born to roam. A buoyant balance of life and form, He is gentle yet he swims on strong. A full life filled with pasts long gone, Is what was destined in his song. But now as times grow unclear, Will the young ever be free of fear? A dark time finds us now, When we loose lives for life-less things. His home is taken by want for wear, Without consideration and with no care. And by thoughtless nets, once-used straws and heating swims, Their world is changing beneath their fins. The perfect life he has enjoyed. This too, which should be their gift, May have taken a downward shift. For as waters rise on innocent cries, The air feels less and less, more like lies. With lifted head and an uncertain stare, Its time for us to show more and more care. For at this time if this issue you clasp, You will unfortunately see a future generation’s gasp. © Mahdhav Sarna

As an Artist my work is not intended to be simply a portrait of an animal; instead my mission is to convey a glimpse, a momentary pause from the life of that being. My visual palette and poetic narratives draw inspiration from eastern wisdom of the Auras, which reflect our emotional energy and signify our vibrancy of life. This influence is utilised to highlight the unifying force or soul that resides equal in all beings, transcending the physical form. Some of the artwork includes original, emotionally charged poetry, which gives voice to this moment, to the soul portrayed in the piece. Through original poetry and richly visual artworks, I hope to explore the deeper connections that run spiritually, emotionally and experientially between all beings; with a goal to help motivate a new perspective of care, awareness and respect for our planet’s wildlife. Predominantly working with life-size subjects, I wish to not put an image of that animal on display, but rather, show that being to you in its full grandeur. Tackling challenges of conservation and eco-harmony, my art aims to portray the lives around us as a part of us; in the same way that we are all part of what Ancient Greek teachings term Gaia: the complex living being that is Mother Earth.
