Ling Lingo

Watercolor and ink painting in shades of black, white, orange, pink and gold with light turquoise details. A central symmetrical figure is surrounded by geometric patterns.

This piece of peace was inspired by a gorgeous earring made by @maynamour. In her words:

The bottom symbol is my own interpretation of the ling lingo- a matriarchal symbol found in the Philippines and in form in SE Asia- it is essentially the womb/ fertility. I put a more “futuristic” spin on that ancient traditional form.

In creating this peace based on @maynamour’s work I meditated on the power of complete freedom in the feminine form. What that would look like now. And what promises it would bring for the future.
