Tia Mavanie

Preservation, decay and memory are the unifying themes at the core of this work, focusing on Mesopotamian mythology, philosophy and forgotten heroines of history. Tia Mavanie applies the alchemical forces of fire and water on timber to explore the interplay between chaos and order and their impact on the structured realms of culture and nature. Fire represents destruction and renewal and water signifies life and its ever-flowing, changing course. These elements play crucial roles in stories of creation, regeneration and the cyclical nature of life, which continues to shape our understanding of the world today.
