The spider web is a symbol of fate, our existence, and how life brings people together in an unforeseeable way. We do not always know how things are going to end up, but with each step we take we are weaving a web that is interconnected. It draws our attention to the choices we make throughout our lives which can affect not just us, but others around us. Whatever you put into motion will eventually catch up with you. Your actions matter whether they are conscious decisions made by yourself or something beyond your control. The collection, Web Of Life, explores the symbolism of the web through mixed media abstract encaustics. I am intrigued with symbolism and how it speaks to us unconsciously. These symbols can guide our decision making when we are in tune with our true self and not distracted by outside elements. The web is symbolic as a protective force that bings together all living things. The art work encourages viewers to look at their own web and see the vigilant forces that bind together all living things. Each step we take adds to the web and its interconnectedness transcends dimensions. Each piece of the web belongs to every other piece, just as the artwork does. No matter where you go or who else has been trapped within it previously, it is all interconnected. We are all individuals in our own homes, which tend to weave a way through life. We make decisions that affect who we become and how things turn out for us–our home is the place where everything happens; it’s also what shapes you into someone new or leaves an impression on their psyche forevermore after they’ve left its confines. The spider web is a symbol of our existence and how we go about living it. We do not always know where things are going to end up, but each step that we take matters in some way because it affects what happens next when weaving through life’s challenges or particular obstacles. This can be seen as an act of fate or destiny which means whatever you put into motion will eventually catch up with you so all your actions matter whether they’re conscious decisions made by yourself or something beyond your control!
