This work meditates on the healing power of water, calmness, and connection to the divine feminine.
Taken together, Stanganelli’s works function as visual invocations,ceremonial in form, energetic in function. Each piece serves as a spiritual compass, orienting the viewer toward inner stillness, balance, and expansive awareness. The ornate frames themselves become thresholds, marking the transition from ordinary perception into radiant consciousness.
