In this monumental canvas—an extension of the Prayer Series—the Sean Rush conjures a modern shamanic figure, palms outstretched to cradle enlightenment. Rendered in luminous oil on luxurious Belgian linen, the painting channels the ancient role of the shaman as mediator between the seen and unseen.
