The Bridge is inspired by the Chakana: a Mexican symbol which represents the spirit & human worlds, the animal kingdom (characterised by snake, jaguar and eagle), the four elements and the bridge between our shadows and our superconscious. It encourages us to ask: How can we fully embrace all aspects of ourselves—our quirks, binaries, and complexities? Are we victims of circumstance, or do we have the power to shape and create our own destiny?
