Earthbound Spirit by Anina Deetlefs

Anina explores adversities, mistakes, failures and relationships by asking how these experiences might cultivate human growth and spiritual enlightenment. The internal landscapes that she depicts set the scene for an enquiry into the ambiguity of life. The notion that any situation could be a cause for optimism or pessimism – that perception is unique to every individual and is simply one’s interpretation of reality – is a central tenet of her work.
