‘Soul Essences’ is an explorative series concerning the delicacy and internal identity of the human soul. By utilising light, colour, intuitive mark-making, and animated video; Sarah Joplin's work embodies the soul collective of Aotearoa presented in an abstract manner, which is not restricted by bodily forms. Her work strives to visually invoke the consciousness of individuals who feel constrained by the limitations of their physical body—and to awaken their life force within.
