ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK

“When we are greeted by a lover we present all that we are, who we were and could be. The main subject is looking towards his mate in curiosity rather than with eyes that are looking to feast. The blood rushing to his fingertips presents the idea that he is interested in understanding the life-giving force and the nature of it. He begins to see past the physical form and recognizes the door in which he slid through. He becomes more and more aware of himself, his mother and father and his ancestors. He sees the face of the creator smiling back at him. His body is adorned with experiences he’s had, his beliefs and the trials and triumphs of the life he’s lived so far. He is a map of his own creation. The eagle wraps around his head to keep him protected from worldly influences and because of that he has a balancing mechanism that teeters between light and darkness. The ghost of his past self has lifted and is returning to the television where the three headed beast lives. It must go back into the realm of commercialization and the force-fed clutter that clogs the mind. For this is what he consumed before he arrived to this present moment. The window at the bottom reveals a woman carrying a bowl of fruit that she is dropping because she is being struck by a man, this is a reflection on how hard we can be on ourselves as well as the dynamics of a relationship when a person does not take care of themselves. But the top window is the same woman proud to be free, she has picked up her fruit and is calling out to the wolves, she has found her place on the mountaintops. The dark energy has returned to its rightful place as well which is inside the ring of fire, there he cannot escape the cycle of the karma he created unless he calls out to the wolves himself. The guardian dog angels are observant and filled with energy, they serve as a reminder of the powerful forces that exist in other realms and can be called upon at any given moment. The relationship between both subjects is about understanding the truth in ourselves and those around us, it is speaking on how we can release past habits so that we can be nurtured by the essence that gives life.”
