{"product_id":"navigator-1-2024","title":"\"Navigator 1\" 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Navigator series takes its name from the ancient Pacific wayfinders — those who crossed vast, open oceans guided not by instruments, but by an intimate reading of wind, wave, star, and instinct. In time, the idea deepened. The real navigation, it turns out, is inward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese works are symbols of the inner journey: the lifelong passage of seeing and accepting one's own experience — including trauma — of coming to know oneself with honesty and courage, and of moving toward what Jung called individuation. Not the construction of a self, but the uncovering of one that was always there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe paradox at the heart of this journey is that the destination is not separation, but wholeness. To fully individuate is to arrive at the realisation that you were never apart from anything. Joy, harmony, and a quiet sense of oneness emerge — not as achievements, but as recognitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Navigator pieces are reminders. Totems for the journey. Encouragement. Place one in your space and let it hold that intention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece — Navigator 1 — stands at 2600mm, a towering presence in pōhutukawa roots from fallen trees in the Auckland region. The top flourish is a separate root piece, set above the main form: two elements in dialogue, each complete, each part of something larger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBase: Fruit tree wood from a fallen tree in Porirua\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Oil, wax\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 2600 x 260 x 260 mm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JOHN ALLEN SCULPTOR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58581484175520,"sku":null,"price":1900.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/8172\/0224\/files\/Piece_7_Full_ae0f5b87-1b04-448b-8d4b-bdc7ccdc6852.jpg?v=1785988836","url":"https:\/\/www.johnallensculptor.com\/products\/navigator-1-2024","provider":"JOHN ALLEN SCULPTOR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
