Helena's profile
I honor my life experience and myself by documenting my perception of The Universe at every phase of my life, from untethered victimhood to unified wholeness and creative expression. In this new phase, I choose to bring my insides, outside.
A wise music producer once told me, “The artist does not complete the circle. The artist creates the art and puts it out into the world and the audience interprets the art, thus completing the circle.” Thank you, Reader, for completing the circle.
If you delve deeper into my portfolio, you may notice I repeat the same words, phrases, and themes throughout each of work. I feel like a different version of me wrote each of these pieces and they are threaded together with a flow of energy that manifests in the form of repeated phrases, creating a circle of my life experience.
A message to the Baker Artist Competition and to The Universe: Thank you for the opportunity to join this competition and revisit the past versions of myself through my writing, feeling into the past emotions, and further solidifying my own voice.
“This is our meditation practice as women, calling back the dead and dismembered aspects of ourselves, calling back the dead and dismembered aspects of life itself.”
