In my life I’ve had the privilege of being counted amongst artists. Those who create and reflect the world to itself. Beautifully packaged and renamed: Art.
I fear the label as it implies that I took what was not and made it into what is. In my lifetime I have never been able to do that. I only connect what I am to what I am.
I see a world of contrasts, of black versus white, of good versus bad. I am both and I have but a duty to connect both to each other.
I have never known how to be anything but what and who I am. A hybrid creature who is truly and essentially what she is.
I dare to take a picture, connect it to a word, reveal a truth and inspire those who are disillusioned to say: I get it!
I have been fighting the contrasts between myself and have found comfort in the truth that is this: I am both.
Celebrate with me the dance of life, devour the diversity of all that you are and forgive yourself for all that you are not.
My greatest desire is to bring harmony to those who seek it.
Spiritually, artistically and physically. To be able to connect seemingly unrelated truths is an art in itself, but a truth nonetheless.
