Through its elementary rectangular shape, HEALING GATE is conceived as an access route to the higher lights of this universe. A way to remember that the light always wins. Born from the shamanic knowledge of the artist, these door is a pathway to higher dimensions. It acts as a catalyst for darkness,negative emotions and demons, transmuting them into light. Using ashes to create her own black, Mathilde Lefort employed in this painting her shamanic knowledge to heal the sadness of not feeling loved at an universal level. Meditating with the ashes in her hands, she called in this specific feeling who is then transmuting into light by the gold mantrahidden in the middle of the piece. --- Mathilde Lefort is a french visual artist based in Bali, Indonesia Holder of a Master’s Degree at EHESS Paris (France), Mathilde is specialized in war representations and human rights.
