“Higher Ground” by Jennifer Westjohn

It is about tran­scend­ing this notion of anchor­ing, of weight, of heav­i­ness that we some­times feel in our mate­r­ial world, in order to turn our gaze, our soul, toward a higher, more ele­vated, more nat­ural — and above all, freer — dimen­sion of this world. 

To refo­cus on the authen­tic, the orig­i­nal, the strength of the ele­ments that sur­round us but that we no longer see, no longer feel.

To open our­selves to them, once again.

Jennifer Westjohn is a French artist who uses the media of pho­tog­ra­phy to bring forth spir­i­tual ques­tions and dive into the sub­lime depth offered by our nat­ural world in its most mys­tic dimension.

Self-​taught, with a pas­sion for the Elsewhere in nature as well as in peo­ple. She trav­els and col­lects incred­i­ble land­scapes crys­tal­lized in the fleet­ing­ness of the moment.

Her work aims at reveal­ing the strong vibra­tions of the uni­verse and raise var­i­ous sub­jects as shaman­ism, instinct and the spirit dwelling in every­thing. From inner to outer beauty her pho­togra­phies try to explore and reach the dimen­sions of a higher realm of our soul. 

Through the exhi­bi­tion “Higher Ground” the artist presents a series of pho­to­graphic works focus­ing on the immense beauty of our nat­ural world. The power of its ele­ments — fire, earth, water, wind, ani­mals, plants— and humans as well, in the face of the ‘sacred’ imposed by nature itself.”
