Conception-– Wet Series #3

Conception – Wet Series #3
18x14 inches, Oil on Canvas, 2021

"Conception – Wet Series #3" is an abstract exploration of the origins of human life, where water is both the medium and the metaphor for creation. As part of Juanita Ka'āhanui’s Wet Series, this piece reflects the fluid and dynamic process of conception—where existence begins in a state of liquid transformation.

Inspired by Native American and Hawaiian creation myths, the painting captures the essence of human emergence through flowing forms and rich textures. Water, the fundamental source of life, represents both the physical and spiritual realms of creation. In the womb, life begins in fluidity, mirroring the primordial waters from which all things are born.

Through layered oil techniques, Ka'āhanui brings movement and depth to the canvas, evoking the sacred mystery of beginnings. This work is ideal for collectors who appreciate abstract art that delves into the elemental forces shaping existence, inviting reflection on the organic and ever-changing nature of life itself.
