“Historically, a bust sculpture captures a specific moment in time. This artwork considers the present moment, and rather than depicting or immortalising a particular individual, the piece has been created as a skull ‘bust’ – representing what it means to be simply human. The skull transcends race, culture, and gender, embodying a unified sense of oneness – as we all have one. ‘Here’  reflects what it means to be human in a time such as now, where information and connection is readily accessible, as we work together to actively create our history – the ‘new’ history. 

The number IX (9), the highest single-digit number, symbolises completion and the cyclical nature of life. It represents the end of one cycle and the preparation for the next, embodying the ebb and flow of existence, as everything in the natural world, from time to space is divisible by 9. It emphasises the idea that true humanity, in its purest form, is about returning to our essential unity and interconnectedness.” – Chanelle Rose

‘HERE’

Historically, long-lasting dehumanising conditioned beliefs were set in play, however, the digital world has since plugged us in… we have acquired more depth to our narrative and are instead moving towards peace and unity at a much faster pace than traditional conditioning can contain. But we are not there yet, we still have work to do.

As the brave reveal the injustices still present from past prejudices, more of our own beliefs and reality are confronted. For many, their hearts and souls move beyond traditional barriers, leaving those remaining to catch up and realise… humanity is stronger than conditioning.

Being HERE, being present, has never been more prevalent.
