Matter of Time (2022)
Matter of Time is about the tiny deaths that leave space for deeper realizations and awareness. We create around our soft inner selves, our hearts, as a means of survival—the artwork of our life, our stories, identity, beliefs; the shelter in which we dwell; the armor that protects us from the inevitable passing of (a version of) self. Yet, it is only with the death of that version, through what we create, that we can actually hear time’s enduring song.
Like hearing the vast and powerful ocean crashing deep inside the hollow instrument of a shell, only when we die inside our layer of protective matter can we finally hear the truth in our particular existence—a swirling, singing, resonating, expanding truth that transcends beyond what our ear’s spiral cochlea can hear, and beyond life itself.
Matter of Time was created in Adobe Photoshop, where I combined original watercolor painting, writing, and photos.
