This piece is part of a series called 'Let Go.'
At this stage of the series, I feel incredibly vulnerable. Is this process opening some kind of floodgate in my psyche? Or is it simply holding up a mirror to vulnerability I am experiencing for other reasons? Either way, this piece, for me, is about changing the story, choosing a new perspective, and refusing to lose myself in the dark places the mind creates. It represents a moment in my journey where I let in, let go, and then turn around.
More on the 'Let Go' Series:
Using a diverse array of collage materials, I enlist gravity's help to compose this series. After selecting my collage materials, I relinquish control and let them fall where they may—literally. In doing so, I suspend my thoughts and conditioned habits, resulting in outcomes more interesting than I could have imagined. Once the procedure is complete, I reclaim the power of assigning meaning, as we humans often do.
Much like life's journey, this series portrays a cycle of choice, chance, acceptance, and interpretation. I encourage viewers to spend time with the work, asking themselves: What could it be? What could it mean to me?
