Lant’ariba

LANT’ARIBA = RISE UP
Sculptural Artwork · Original · One of a Kind

This is the calabash mid-transformation: teal painted, cracked, and splattered with orange, yellow, and purple against a warm yellow canvas. The shell is breaking open and the canvas is answering it, carrying the same energy outward in trails of colour that refuse to be contained.
The calabash has always known this moment. It grows full, is hollowed out, and becomes something it was not before. That is not loss. That is the whole point.
Lant’ariba is that moment; caught, mounted, and given color.
Handmade in Curaçao from locally sourced calabash shell, mounted on canvas. 30x40cm.
