The artist investigates symbols and archetypes, especially the maternal and paternal figures that are deeply intertwined with human development and growth. These figures give rise to the next generation, embedding patterns and values that we unconsciously mirror later in life.
The eponymous ‘Five Poisons’, also known as 'mind defilements', are a fundamental concept in Buddhism. They refer to five harmful emotions that are the source of human suffering: desire, anger, pride, jealousy, and ignorance. According to Buddhism, the world around us is essentially neutral. Suffering doesn’t arise from it, but directly from our psyche, comprising several layers, with spirituality at its pinnacle.
