"The Story of Siva" is inspired by a tale I wrote as part of my Palm Tales collection. This story delves into the origins of the Siva Samoa, the cultural dance that has been a cornerstone of Samoan identity for generations. I wanted to craft a fictional narrative that captures the essence of its creation, celebrating the beauty and significance that surrounds it.

This piece is highly interpretive, using layered textures and forms to evoke the sense of movement and the interconnectedness of community. Just as the Siva itself is a vessel for storytelling, this painting reflects that tradition, visually narrating a scene from my story. Through its composition, I aimed to honor the grace, history, and cultural depth of the Siva while reimagining its origins through a creative lens.
