" freeing the spirit, provoking a sense of self-discovery,

reflecting life, embracing human nature "

shape poster letra.jpg

​

Inspired by the biblical idea that God is the potter and we are the clay,
my newest creation, The Shape of Life, reflects on personal events of life
that have shaped us into who we are today.
Questioning our nurture, our past, our present, and what lies ahead,
the piece dives into early recollections, evolving values, traumas and beliefs, emotions, love and loss, scars, successes and failures, life and death.
It is a search for self-discovery, freedom for expression, a path to healing, and communication, and a reminder of the inner strength art helps us uncover.

RECIPIENT OF THE YAGP

MARCELLA HYMOWITZ CREATIVE FELLOWSHIP

“ In me, not made to be seen. Deeper than flesh and bones, remaining alive when I am gone. Screams louder than my voice, echoing the sound of my heart. Rips my skin, setting my soul free. Embraces my flaws, manifesting my human nature. Fed by imagination, bringing movement to life. Takes me away to bring me closer.

In the dark there is some light, in the blind there is some sight. In the wrong there is some right, in the black there is some white.

Life is always going to grow feathers on you, with the purpose of making you fly higher to get you where you are supposed to be and to help you discover who you are meant to be. Some of them will come from moments of pain, loss or darkness, but some will grow out of moments of love, happiness or joy.
