A sculpture hyper-charged with intention. Each of my movements, a ritual, a reflection.

My hands sculpted the figure from the inside outward, layer by layer to form the whole.

The figure’s gaze is turned inward. Their reach turns to tendrils, branches that extend into the ether, shrouded in moss and gold. A glowing orb of labradorite floats above the figure’s crown, simultaneously the guiding light and orb of creation potential.

The figure is rooted downward by a cord of 18kt gold and quartz crystal, touching the energy field of another quartz crystal that was excavated and gifted to me by an angel of a human. A microscopic root system recovered from my parents yard is suspended in an oval of resin, and rests upon that bond.

The darkest, richest soil- given to me by my father and from my family’s garden- holds this sculptural ecosystem. The soil went through much of a process to recover the finest grains, a meditation, a ritual. I sifted through this dirt with a tiny strainer that I previously used to hand-strain my celery juice daily- a tool to treat the health of my person. I sifted for days, hands dirtied, floor dirtied, cushions covered in fingerprints of dirt. These fine grains of soil I mixed in with crystal dust of celestite, selenite, and quartz gathered from my travels across the land.

With Love and Presence,
