Coming together in life and creation as a multi-disciplinary duo to explore the many colours and tones of what it means to be alive on this earth and reveal the innate one-ness that ultimately links us all.
To bring a voice to the voiceless, to shed light in dark spaces, to empower and to inspire; The Samaya Wives strive towards equality, wisdom, compassion and authentic connection.
The fusion of their respective expertise in Dance, Photography and Film enables them to communicate through external imagery the internal world of the human psyche.
Using their passion for creating bold, eye catching imagery, they set out to use art as a spot light on global humanitarian issues, encouraging viewers to expand their hearts and with it their world view and preconceptions.
