See No Evil

Inspired by the ancient Japanese proverb of the Three Wise Monkeys, this series is a modern-day interpretation of the iconic pictorial maxim that has been subject to extensive philosophical and political commentary.
To see no evil, one can either turn a blind eye to
the wrongdoings and ills of society or take an
intentional approach of not looking at things that
provoke ill intentions. These differing courses of action offer two choices: to either live your life in wilful
ignorance or choose a meditative existence governed by
positive intentions.
With her arms covered in a vibrant pattern of designs and
colours, the Wise Woman covers her eyes to shield them
from witnessing any misdeeds or wrongdoings. The viewer
is left to wonder, what has this Wise Woman seen that
has led her to conceal her eyes? Is it her own misdeeds
that she chooses to ignore or someone else’s? Or is she
blissfully ignoring the harsh reality of our current times?
This artwork invites us to perhaps take a harder look at
what we might be ignoring about ourselves and the life we
continue to live
