< Three Wise Monkeys

Reflecting on awareness and choices through symbolic art.

The Three Wise Monkeys collection dives into the symbolism of the classic three monkeys, each representing the well-known idea: "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." This collection goes beyond a simple depiction, encouraging viewers to reflect on how we perceive and choose our actions in today’s complex world.

In these artworks, I interpret the three monkeys in various styles, incorporating elements from different eras and ideas. Some pieces blend classic symbolism with modern visual elements, prompting viewers to consider how this concept relates to contemporary life. Each piece offers a fresh perspective on mindfulness, awareness, and our ability to focus on the positive.

For me, the Three Wise Monkeys represent a personal journey of introspection. Through these varied interpretations, I invite viewers to discover their own meanings in each artwork and to consider how ancient wisdom applies to our lives today.
