How does one measure the weight of grief? How do we gauge its depth?

Do the tight, cheerfully lit corridors of our so-called ‘normal’ lives leave space for sorrow to walk its slow, mournful path?

It is a union of form and formlessness, a spark made manifest - something we can perceive with our senses. A dance between structure and the free spirit that stirs within us all.

I believe art is not merely the final, tangible piece, but rather a semi-finite vortex - an energetic passage through which everything becomes an expression of inspired action, a portal into a visceral, creative perspective.

I believe we can’t truly know ourselves unless we’re willing to look inward, honestly and without flinching. Without that, we risk living out someone else’s ideas of who we should be, carrying old wounds that don’t belong to us anymore.

Dorothea Lange.

In looking at the past we can often better understand our present. Her work speaks to the compassion, crisis, and dignity of lives lived, and the importance of bearing witness. Or, as Lange said: “It’s not pictorial illustration, it’s evidence.”

Magali Duzant.

Significant words.

For me, true success is measured by how it enriches the lives of those we touch or cross paths with.

Life feels like a movie right now, with the occasional still frame to pause and reflect. It’s strange how deeply we belong to some places and how detached we feel from others—much like trees that refuse to sink their roots into soil that feels foreign to the blossoms they produce.

Art is a ways of being in the world, a fine-tuned and deeply intimate mechanism of relating with the fragments outside of our Self. Personally, I see art as my Sādhanā. My way of praising and celebrating the Divine among us 🤍
