Soul Bath
Soul Bath refers to all our recent drive-through experiences, the tests, vaccines, the takeout, where the car has been our safety bubble.
The end is in sight, but to refresh our minds and souls, it’s time for a cleanse.
Lets soak in all the vibrancy and color that we’ve been deprived of and reconnect to the non-virtual experience.
Can we feel, touch and smell with our eyes? Can we find hope in matter?
Take a drive through and recharge your senses.
Breathing Room
Summing up this year of sadness, isolation and holding our breath, let’s reimagine the after-time.
What shall we keep?
With this sculpture I am searching for a way to finally experience abstracted joy. Building castles in the air.
Immersing ourselves in a sanctuary of color to exhale the past and inhale the future.
You are welcome – walk in, dream and breathe.
