Amagi Art is inspired by the Sumerian word 'amagi,' The word originates from the noun ama "mother"and the present participle gi "return, restore, put back", thus literally meaning "returning to mother". Assyriologists have identified it as the first known written reference to the concept of freedom. Amagi written in cuneiform 𒂼𒄄 was inscribed in cuneiform tablets to indicate when a human was released from enslavement. In this word the image of humanity freeing itself from enslavement to a way of living that no longer serves life is beheld. In returning to the mother, we free ourselves from enslavement to a system that that does not resonate with the truth of humanity's heart and soul.
The works of Amagi Art are sourced from elements of nature and the focus of the work is to bring to life sacred totems that appear when nature is mirrored. The inspiration for this work comes from life and being, both cosmic and terrestrial. Amagi Art prints start with a photograph, continue with various digital editing techniques, and are concluded when the viewer receives whatever messages the sacred totems reveal.
