Still thinking of a title for this one; it needs to be one that helps tell the story of the vision which it depicts.
The sketch on this canvas had been sitting in my studio for over a year before I started adding paint over the past couple weeks. During that time I've been dogsitting for some friends & bouncing around to a few public events soaking up tons of love from the community to channel into my work.
After a 🌞 tablet & lengthy bit of rollerblading around the park near my apartment, I decided to sit in the grass for a while to catch my breath.
It was a gorgeous spring day in Denver & the sunshine was hitting 😉
So, after I sat down & got my skates off, I closed my eyes, crossed my legs & found myself quickly in an intense meditative state after just a few deep breaths.
In this headspace, I had a vision of myself sitting in the park; not only did I have an imprint of my surroundings in my field of vision with my eyes closed, but I also could see a field of energy forming around me.
This field of energy appeared as Metatron's Cube at first but quickly expanded into a more chaotic pattern of vibration which would eventually become the park & the entirety of the world.
In that moment I was reminded of an ever-critical universal truth, WE ARE ONE.
All of the matter & life, consciousness & everything unknown within the confines of the universe comes from ONE source energy.
That source energy is known to man by many names, names which are unimportant so long as we remember that truth & choose to embody it by working to become the best versions of ourselves, versions of ourselves which help to bring up those around us.
Self actualization is the psychological process of realizing one’s full potential, becoming one's authentic self, and pursuing personal growth; the acknowledgment that one's full potential will be achieved only through duty to others is an imperative step in the process.
This vision, meditative realization & the subsequent artistic practice have helped to reignite my drive for creation in a way I can't exactly articulate in this moment but I am ecstatic to be back on my spiritual path making progress
