I christened this magnificent natural sculpture with its name, “The Shaman” because as you see, there is the appearance of a tribal mask emerging from the left of this photograph. As well, another rather other earthly face peering out from behind. And as if by magic, it is mysterious to realize; upon further viewing these two, separate faces merge together to create ONE, powerfully primitive face. A Shaman’s bridge to the perfect balance of yin and yang. The reflection of a return from a once imposed journey into the underbelly of darkness, where great understanding of a primal healing knowledge is found.
