The Artist

To be an artist is to cast your inner world into the universe. To express your soul. It takes surreal dedication to master your craft, but no matter your skill, the calling remains the same, every artist must create.

Devotion

How devoted are you? Could you give your heart? Your very existence? This man gazes into the abyss in pain, waiting to see if his offering is enough. Will the blood, sweat, and tears suffice? I wonder how many could do the same.

portal

As disorienting as it may be, you’re never truly ready to enter a new phase of life. Whether consciously or subconsciously, it often feels like it arrives out of nowhere. Step through the portal, you might be pleasantly surprised by what awaits on the other side.

Trust Fall

This world is full of challenges. When you face your own storm, may you trust yourself fully, boldly, knowing it will all be okay in the end. The Universe is cheering for you and will always catch you. So let go, like this dancer, and leap into the unknown. Nature loves courage.

Connection

How do you connect with your past, your ancestors, to the world around you? How do you interpret that data? We all have that desire for connection, whether it’s with one another, with nature, or with something greater than ourselves..

Love

Love, whether platonic or romantic, is the highest vibration. These divine beings, with faultless eyes locked in eternal bliss, need nothing more than each other. They want nothing more than presence itself. No craving. No lack. Just love, fully embodied and shared.

Crossroad

We all face moments where a decision must be made. Some things may be predetermined, but every timeline exists. To reach the one you desire, you must create the shift. Every choice you make brings you back to the crossroads, again and again.

Time

Time. Always moving, never staying, yet somehow always still. A human perception we’re all chained to. Outside of us, it’s a shifting hallucination, bending and shaping every moment.
Resist all you want, but time will always reveal the truth and force you to grow.

Grimreaper

“Death make angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as ravens claws” - Jim Morrison, American Poet. Let the Grim Reaper be your shepherd into the unkown.

Mother

If I’ve learned one thing from my mother, it’s to nurture others as we do ourselves. And if I’ve learned one thing from Mother Nature, it’s to care for our surroundings, so they, in turn, may continue to care for us.

Bound

How much do you enjoy your boundaries? Are they helping or hurting you? Though wrapped in thorny vines, this woman seems to relish the pain. A mystic presence, she smiles back at you, not in defiance, but in full acceptance of the pain her boundaries may bring.

Liminal Space

Have you ever heard the tragedy of Persephone, Queen of the Underworld? Well… it was probably a lie.

Here, Hecate the Goddess of Magic, guides Persephone, the Goddess of Spring, through the eerie caves of Hades as they cross between worlds.

Though the destination is the underworld and the path unsettling, even surreal, Persephone walks with unwavering trust. With Hecate at her side, she surrenders fully to her guidance.
