In collaboration with local artists, Wenger dedicated herself to the preservation and expansion of the Sacred Grove of Oṣogbo - a site of worship honoring Ọṣun, the goddess of love and fertility, and other deities, such as Ṣànpọ̀nná. The latter is associated with illness, suffering, and healing. In the expressive, surrealistic painting \u201eṢànpọ̀nná and Alájere\u201c, the artist refers to the titular beings while drawing on elements of Yorùbá mythology. Executed in muted colors, the elongated bodies of the depicted figures merge with one another and dissolve into the surrounding space, which is populated by birdlike creatures and figures in boats. Wenger\u2019s work is shaped by a holistic worldview in which humans, nature, and spiritual realms are inseparably linked."},"medium":{"label":"Medium","value":"Öl auf Sperrholz"},"onview":{"label":"On View","value":"1"},"media":{"label":"Media","value":["https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/146089/full"]},"title":{"label":"Title","value":"Ṣànpọ̀nná and Alájere,"},"classification":{"label":"Genre","value":"Painting"},"primaryMedia":{"label":"PrimaryMedia","value":"https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/146089/full"},"displayDate":{"label":"Date","value":"c. 1980"},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"12373271"},"iiifManifest":{"value":"https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/apis/iiif/presentation/v2/1-objects-93573/manifest"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"92 × 122 cm"}}]}
