ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK

“The one who is connected to who they are, in mind, body and spirit is free. This sculpture is a representation of how when we nurture the truth within us we can walk through fire. The small being that is held is his inner child, he carries it proudly as to say that he is allowing it to guide him but also is protecting it. The circles of energy sprout up his arms and the blood rushes to his face as he feels both his spirit and the emotions from the outside world. His hair is made from horse hair, this connects him to healing and freedom. The Nike check mark symbol is him just doing it, he doesn’t hold back and goes after what he wants. The women gather around his head as a crown of the feminine energy, the symbol of the life-giving force that exists in all of us. The women who carry fruit on his legs are there to show how we should be of good service to ourselves and to those around us, the scorpions are the balance between life and death. The tattoos he has are his connection to both his spirit and his flesh, he uses them as a way to showcase his personality and the beliefs he feels connected to. In totality this sculpture is a mirror to the dance we all do throughout this life, in one form or another. His message is to let the spirit be the guide and to live from the truth within.”
