Twin Reflections on InfinityIf you’ve ever fought with yourself, you may be familiar with the experience of inner conflict. "Twin Reflections on Infinity" recognizes the validity of humanity's inner struggles, while also offering the possibility of reconciliation. The two fishes symbolize our dual or contradictory nature, while the lotus in the center symbolizes the intrinsic unity of our entire being. When we accept rather than judge, the unloved parts of us begin to heal, and we reclaim our capacity for wholeness.

Thousand-Petal Lotus BrainThis piece was created spontaneously. Rather than trying to engineer the structure of the piece from start to finish, the form emerged organically from moment to moment as I simply allowed the piece to take the direction it wanted to. "Thousand-Petal" is a study into the bridge between the conscious and subconscious mind. Surrendering to the creative urge gives us the opportunity to explore and bear witness to the mysterious depths of our subconscious. -

RememberingAlways coming up against my own expectations of who I ought and ought not to be, I tend to put a lot of pressure on myself. In the midst of an intense inner conflict, I experienced the sudden and profound realization that my greatest gift to the world is the act of simply being myself. That realization culminated visually in the creation of "Remembering." -

SunflowerThis piece came into being through a meditation on a sunflower. Prevalent throughout my meditation was a feeling of empathy with the sunflower's abiding love for the sun. Although rooted to the earth, it raises itself ever higher, growing as tall as it can to be closer to the sun's warmth and radiance. "Sunflower" is representative of how love can be the impetus for extraordinary growth. It also reminds us that perceived physical limitations can serve as the means to unique forms of self-expression. -

The Journey Within"The Journey Within," with its multitudes of layers and labyrinths, alludes to the endless journey toward self-discovery. There is always another layer; there is always something hidden. Perhaps the greatest source of curiosity is how deep we really go. -
