(Detail) In My Elements, 2025
This artwork is a visual and poetic exploration of identity, intuition, and elemental belonging. Rooted in a deep connection to nature, it reflects the elements that ground me, particularly the sky and ocean, as sources of clarity and presence that anchor me within the larger fabric of existence.
The piece captures the moments of insight and revelation that surface when I am in unity and harmony with the natural world. It emerged from a lingering question around purpose and place, first expressed through a poem I wrote titled In My Elements.
Residing in life.
Residing in her elements.
Residing in my elements.
Residing in water,
in the ripples of my existence.
Residing in earth,
in the soil of my soul,
in the seedbed of my body,
in the grains of my flesh,
& the texture of my skin.
Residing in the warmth of the sun,
in the particles of my blood.
Residing in the wind,
in the stillness within movement.
Residing in her elements.
Residing in my elements.
Residing in water,
in the ripples of my existence.
Residing in earth,
in the soil of my soul,
in the seedbed of my body,
in the grains of my flesh,
& the texture of my skin.
Residing in the warmth of the sun,
in the particles of my blood.
Residing in the wind,
in the stillness within movement.
I am your body made manifest.
I am your unspoken voice.
I am your truth undivided.
I am your waters untamed.
I am your reflection unshadowed.
I am the witness residing in the stillness of sight.
I am the steadfast soul in the river of time.
I am your unspoken voice.
I am your truth undivided.
I am your waters untamed.
I am your reflection unshadowed.
I am the witness residing in the stillness of sight.
I am the steadfast soul in the river of time.
In you, I am found,
& to you, I belong.
It is you I’ve always known,
& to you, I long.
In you, I find solace.
I reside in you.
I reside with you.
I belong to you.
& to you, I belong.
It is you I’ve always known,
& to you, I long.
In you, I find solace.
I reside in you.
I reside with you.
I belong to you.
In your waters, I unveiled my calling—
to reemerge, fully, into myself,
to dwell in the ocean of my being,
to recall myself,
to reemerge, fully, into myself,
to dwell in the ocean of my being,
to recall myself,
to remember myself into presence,
to reimagine myself,
to experience myself,
to bear my soul’s expression,
to belong to myself,
to contain myself,
to come back to myself,
over & over again.
to reimagine myself,
to experience myself,
to bear my soul’s expression,
to belong to myself,
to contain myself,
to come back to myself,
over & over again.
