Lightness of Being

We live in an expansive universe, a constant source of wonder with diverse lifeforms coexisting in relative harmony and synchronicity. The very energy we evolve from instills within us a fundamental credo: to care and share is our sole and prime responsibility. 

Humans are the only beings on this planet with the incredible capacity for thought and expression. This exceptional capability is to originate thoughts, translate them to speech, to express, to reflect, and to comprehend; yet the times we live in are masking these qualities, turning them to anger and pain. The repercussions of this ever-growing revolving sequence of actions are pain, anger, and destruction. The conscious actions to shed these masks of rigidity we have donned will nurture our wonder for the very meaning and sanctity of life — will induce lightness; the beauty of the being.

My work is a conscious realization that our raison d'être stems from an emanating source of energy: ever evolving, spreading  beauty, and actualizing our innate “lightness of being.”

I tried to enunciate my thoughts through these 3 pieces of artwork.
