Tui - Taitung goddess

Taitung Goddess is a painting depicting Taitung flying fish. The image of Feiyu is a woman, and her hair is the majestic Taitung Mountains. A cobra (snake are often a symbol of healing) is crawling up her chest and around her neck, heading towards its home. This woman represents nature and is a powerful goddess that we must support and work with to protect our ecosystems and oceans. I wanted to capture the essence of Taitung in the background through a Tongan kupesi etching.
