Title: North Star and ten large works on paper
2026.10.07
Lightness,
Blissful floating,
Unrestrained,
Untethered,
Released.
Experienced momentarily,
Captured in inks,
Joyous participation,
Exquisitely depicted,
Clinging to the sensation.
Brilliant metaphor,
Weightlessness of space,
Released from earthly constraints,
Free to live,
Life as it should be.
Sameness of existence,
Oneness in humanity,
Perfection,
In order with nature,
Harmony and balance.
Offered generously by creation,
Marred by man,
Melancholic desire,
Longing, misty eyes,
Of a reality not lived.
Country and religion,
Fabrications of mankind,
Skin tone,
Nature corrupted,
Lives forgotten and shattered.
What some take for granted,
Others cannot,
One determining for another,
Limiting existence,
Killing the spirit.
Invitation to sincerity,
Return to humanity,
Accept,
Embrace the vastness of possibilities,
Never letting go of that weightless feeling.
Moments of clarity,
Lovely to contemplate,
Shared,
Depicted in art,
Becoming truth.
Bodies floating in air,
Graceful and delicate,
Unbound,
Universal,
Pure beauty.
