"A powerful painting that depicts how we work with the power of the ground & sky snake in our shamanic ceremonies. In the centre of my painting is a shamanic pot with the ayahuasca plant radiating energy. The snake is very spiritual & we work with the ground snake but we know there is also a sky snake, Ashuinka. If the sky snake sees you in the forest it will take you." Nixiwaka Yawanawá
