Oneless Oneness
We exist in the unifying flows of impermanence between lives, deaths, beginnings, ends, presence, emptiness, distance, connection, hope, and hopelessness. My artworks flow from my changing awareness of the Buddhist teaching “In the present moment lies freedom” which informs my motto "Swim to my dream and freedom from my mind".
Mountains, clouds, birds into sea-scapes, aquatic life into sky-scapes. These elements create a mythical world where qualities of realism, and surrealism are juxtaposed in life’s multi-dimensionality. A world that allows one to escape from our current reality in exchange for living with hope in a fantasy that offers reprieve, while reminding us that there are always possibilities, connection, potential in the now, however bleak our current circumstances maybe.
This is a call for all of us to become more aware of the precious and vital ecosystems that embraces us; to value the lives that are inseparably bound to our environment; acknowledge how suffering, joy, sadness, and happiness are intertwined in our existence; to let go of the momentary, accept the ephemeral nature of existence, and finally, to join the harmony between the universes within all of us, and the universe that exists without.
