Inspired by my daily meditation practice, the Being series explores the concept of being fully present in the moment. I create without preconceived notions of process or outcome, allowing the work to flow organically, much like the unpredictable changes in nature, weather, and the seasons. I use objects found in daily life, embedding them into layers of wax and resin. Fallen leaves, pressed flowers, and dried insects are juxtaposed with personal items like photographs, handkerchiefs, and jewelry. These elements become shapes and colors, forming compositions that communicate symbolic stories of memory, time, and identity.
