In her series The Life of Pi, Amanda von Canada translates the novel’s existential undercurrents into a visual meditation on survival, instinct, and the stories that sustain us. The works grapple with what we are willing to do in order to endure, exposing the raw, animal drive that lies beneath the surface of human civility. At the same time, she explores the narratives we construct—those fragile fictions and mythologies that help us bear the unbearable and give meaning to struggle. 

Moving between isolation and resilience, the series evokes both the vastness of despair and the quiet strength required to persist. Through bold, visceral imagery, Amanda von Canada invites viewers to reflect not only on the instinctual fight for life, but also on the human capacity to reimagine reality in the face of the unknown.
