I painted this charming young Morepork, or ‘Ruru,’ at the Resolution Festival, and she quickly became a beloved favourite. This curious little soul embodies the essence of inquisitiveness and discovery. Her playful nature and keen gaze reflect the profound journey of exploration that defines our quest for understanding.
Curiosity is a powerful force that drives us to push boundaries, embrace growth, and uncover deeper truths about ourselves and the world around us. Just as this Morepork navigates her surroundings with a mix of wonder and intent, so too does our curiosity illuminate the path ahead, guiding us toward wisdom and self-discovery.
In many cultures, the owl symbolizes wisdom, offering a complementary reflection of the insights gained through curiosity. Together, they represent the harmony between exploration and enlightenment, reminding us that every question and discovery enriches our identity and brings us closer to our true selves.
