Title: Many Forms, One Life - A Visual Series by Sabantho Aderi
.jpg)
Many Forms, One Life. She Is Not a Threat. She Belongs. This series consists of digital artworks using charcoal-based textures to evoke tactility and depth. Through feminine figures embodied as Amazonian beings, Sabantho engage Indigenous cosmological frameworks in which animals are understood as relatives, teachers, and protectors. These figures resist singular definitions of womanhood and strength, allowing multiple forms of power to exist without hierarchy or explanation.
