The discussion continued with an engaging panel featuring:

Mr Mesake Dawai– Fijian Elections Office

The Great Migration
This ocean of turbulent changes, moving as an ever flowing river within this manifest universe of space and time... confined in the cycle of the great migration...of history and creation... from one generation to the next this cycle spins in the blink of an eye...We all live and move from one Kalpa to the next... from one celestial power station to the next...from one velocity to the next...from perfect to the great and on until towards the greatest one.

On the Cross Roads
The whole of life’s existence is a crossroad...We journey as pilgrims on motherearth, rooted with a steering wheel to survive along these many winding crossroads.
Man envisions into reality and lives — awakes and lives, letting no false illusions destruct their destiny, rise up and truly live.

Cyber Wars
What are we now creating out of human intelligence...a weapon of AI innovation or that of destruction? The turning triggers of micro G chip bombs, an idol in this world’s devils box, at the cost of man’s fingertips. This future of cyber wars and technological enslavery - net workings and net fishing in this ocean of ignorance here entrapped in this human mind’s cyber intelligence.

The Red Moon
The red moon cries with terrors of blood, soaked and sucked into this world’s rebellious movements — geo-political and territorial wars. The day of Armageddon has come, turbulence of conflicting illusions within this global confusion.

The Birth of AI
In the turn of the 21st century, now exploded the manifest elementary nature — the atomic bomb, the doorway into this world — the birth of AI. Now let loose to control globalization, this one world order where inequality enflames. Like unto the days of Noah and the great flood, now humanities survivors must get on board Christ the Lord’s Starship, to eventually overcome this global catastrophe.

Voice of Thunder
The whole universe has many eyes, but the One that sees
only into the single eye sees all... From within the source eternally flows the voice of thunder — the indestructible two-edged sword of life and death, slicing through the crux of the whole cosmos, the logos in between where the word “Christ” exists.

The Way to Regeneration
The seed falls and dies — in darkness lies only to contain the minutest tree of life, with its fruits and flowers to bloom in seasons of spring... Many mountains, rivers, and oceans to cross...not until the path is finally laid straight into the way of perfection...into the sole way of Christ’s salvation.

Curatorial Statement
Josaia Waqabaca McNamara: Art of Wisdom II

The University of Fiji is pleased to present Josaia Waqabaca McNamara: Art of Wisdom II, the artist’s second installment in the Art of Wisdom Collection and his first exhibition of original paintings at the University’s Suva Central Campus.

Following the opening exhibition in 2023 at the Oceania Centre for Arts, Culture and Pacific Studies, the Art of Wisdom II continues to visualize the artist’s internal process of absorption and reckoning with salient themes in contemporary culture; conflict, AI and geo-political tension.

Seemingly detached from earth’s gravity, the dreamy and at times nightmarish quality of these oil paintings sit in a liminal space between realism and abstraction. Situated in the astral planes bridging solid bodies and ephemeral spirits, this world pulls the viewer into a confronting maze of juxtaposed forms intended to spark double-takes.

The Red Moon, painted in June 2026, illustrates this confluence of celestial events with earthly affairs capturing an incendiary volley of missiles launched from far corners of the earth converging under a domodomo framed ‘strawberry’ lunar display that defined that month’s night sky in Fiji.

The Birth of AI, also painted in June 2026, offers an evolutionary perspective on the rapid development of computer-human intelligence. By opposing kesakesa and circuitry patterns the artist invites critical thought on the gestation process of pattern recognizing minds that may soon outgrow humanity.

McNamara describes the present as a liquid movement between cosmological phases of time, articulating this transition between the familiar past into the uncertain future through an emphasis on technological symbolism. While the structural authority that defined Piscean age civilization is still recognizable in ocular and religious motifs throughout the collection, these symbols now float on the surface of fluid Aquarian backdrops driving attention to foregrounded messages of
interconnectivity and collective turmoil.

The origin of the works are observational, arising from a dialectical process of internal reflection on external phenomena that McNamara has developed into a robust creative methodology. Recently adapted into a three weekend Art + Philosophy Workshop with the University of Fiji, McNamara guided students through his approach to writing personal commentary, developing notebook sketches and multimedia realization of layered reflections on the Body, Mind, and Spirit. Deeply philosophical, the artworks communicate through an endogenous symbolic language.

McNamara has now been excavating for three decades. Initially disclosed through philosophical
statements paired with his first solo art exhibition in 2001, McNamara’s mystical interpretations of iTaukei culture, religious belief and esoteric spirituality challenge viewers to explore the space
between worlds.
