THE LOVE JUNGLE
Using a symbolic vocabulary of animal masks, plants, flowers, and genie bottles, Kiwi has invented The Love Jungle, an exotic world of fertility, growth and transformation. Change and metamorphosis are recurring themes, celebrating the vitality of life’s natural cycles and reflecting several invigorating shifts in Kiwi’s personal life. Evocative botanical motifs speak overtly of procreation and fecundity while genie bottles become a totem for personal change, hopes and dreams. The masks are multipurpose: they’re fantastical antagonists who invite and challenge; the symbolic embodiment of our own animal instincts and qualities; the skins we’ve shed and those we’re yet to inhabit; but most simply, playful devices through which we might transform or transcend.
