Oya is the goddess of winds, lightning and storms, bringing both chaos and transformation.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eShe symbolises feminine leadership, a fierce protector of women, and is a symbol of changing times; but she is also tied to death, guiding souls into the afterlife. Oya is a warrior goddess, fiery, unyielding and fiercely protective of those who honour her. She sweeps away what is old so that the new can begin. She is a goddess of transformation. \u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn this piece, I have portrayed a suspended moment where a contemplative Oya lifts a striking African parrot, breathing him into shafts of warm light amid a swirl of blues, magentas and gold. The parrot is a symbol of communication, truth and the power of the human mind, and is a conduit between the human and divine realms.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eOya’s steady gaze and her layered beads, behind the parrot’s slate coloured plumage and fiery red tail, create a charged, intimate dialogue between the goddess and those who can hear her\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e. Luminous rays carve the haze, revealing soft hands, alert eyes and a tension that is at once tender and ominous—mystery tempered by quiet strength and a call for peace.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gail Cuthbert Artist","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53620268564817,"sku":null,"price":1495.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/6815\/4449\/files\/Feather_and_Storm.heic?v=1777049664","url":"https:\/\/gailcuthbertartist.com\/products\/feather-and-storm-oya","provider":"Gail Cuthbert Artist","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
