Wheel of Life Series

In its structure, my life has not changed much since the quarantine began, as I work from home and live alone. What has changed, is the quality of my time. Now that everyone lives like me, I feel less rushed and more at ease with my natural rhythm. I realized that the pressure for productivity had diminished my joy to create, and now I give each piece the time and space it needs. I experiment more, and often I spend all day drawing.

The Wheel of Life series was born during this period. I named each piece after a Hindu God of creation or destruction, as a reminder that in nature one cannot exist without the other. I will soon add the series to my online shop. 

I hope that you and your loved ones stay in good health, and that during this time you also connect with your true nature.

We will remember these days as the time when we all lived (separately) as one.

Ever since my father died a few months ago, the transitory nature of existence has occupied my mind. If he -with his powerful presence- no longer exists, then everything else will also end in time. This vision may seem depressing, but it has freed me from my worries about the future.

For as far back as I can remember, my dad had a toenail infection. After decades trying to heal it, he finally found a medicine that worked. When the funeral home came to take his body, the last thing I saw, as they closed the bag that contained him, was a perfect toenail on his foot. We fret about things that come and go, when what we can always have is the awesome experience of being alive.

Empathy from this shared life experience will turn us into citizens of the world. After we care for each other, it will be time to care for our planet.

In these times where we collectively help each other by not seeing each other, I am glad we can communicate through the universal language of art.

I spent the morning writing blog posts. As I wrote, I felt inspired and confident. What great ideas! I thought. Now I’ve re-read them and they seem shallow and empty. Is this how I’ve been writing lately? For years? Stories I think are interesting, but are not worth reading at all? 

Later, full of shame and regret, I realized there is no way to avoid this. I make a living by sharing what I create. Unless I show up as I am: informed or ignorant, profound or shallow, I cannot show up at all. When I work at my jewelry bench, I have to be willing to make junk or high art. I never know which is which, because there is no formula for either one. 

A voice in my head says, who the hell are you to write about anything? Why should anyone care? I’m sure you hear it too. I think we all do. But I will continue to make things and write about them, because if I listened to this voice, I would be half dead. I’d no longer experiment and learn, fail and succeed. After all, everything is an attempt at something. Life itself is an attempt. I choose to participate.
