Sisonke Papu
1992
“Izithunywa zendalo (messengers of nature) is a series that seeks to open a pathway towards communication and communion by exploring the four elements of matter: Earth (umhlaba), water (amanzi), fire (umlilo) and air (umoya). These entities form and hold the vibrational frequency of the physical and spiritual manifestation of the universe.
Through the energetic properties of colour, shape and sound, I investigate the four elements in relation to the various physiological and hyper-dimensional processes that occur within the body (umzimba).
As well as how the messengers of nature (izithunywa zendalo) are also communicating with us in this time and shifting the consciousness of planet Earth.” - Sisonke Papu
