Passion and the Creation Series 2024

The creation series began with a small spark in the fall of 2023. Inspirations and visions of the future caused waves of energy to spill out from the ether. 

It began as a tiny ember and slowly grew into a yearning, a need to release bottled up emotions that had been living deep in a cave, somewhere in my subconciousness.

After years of meditation and self-reflection, an energetic shift occurred. Maybe it was planetary alignment or a mirrored vision. Maybe it shifted because I slid into a new frequency or dimension. Either way, something spectacular happened. The "Creation" series emenated into the physical realm. 

The first batch was sculpted in February 2024. Piece #1 felt like a mirrored image, was it a reflection of self love? The embrace of two souls? Not sure, but the next five pieces flowed out seamlessly and after 2 months they were dry enough to be fired in the kiln. Or so I thought..........

Creation Series #1 

My pieces were not completely dry. The entire kiln exploded and my work was ruined. I was shocked and devistated. I had shows coming up, so I had to start over quick. I wrote all about it on my instagram posts in April 2024. Read up on it if you're interested.

One piece survived from that batch, and honestly, it is my favorite. Creation #3- (click here to see it) But enough about the kiln explosion. That is just the beginning of the story, this post is about something else entirely. This post is about Passion.

Here is the excerpt from my journal:

One thing I've been more observant of this past year is that the majority of people don't express any passion in their lives. Not only do they not express it, they suppress it. It seems to be an elusive and non-existent concept that escapes their every day life. I have also noticed that a lot of people feel uncomfortable seeing passion demonstrated in the arts, on film or in real life situations. 

It's almost like they forgot about a time when they experienced passionate moments. Or maybe when they did feel it,  it was too scary to pursue. Too powerful.

Believe it or not, I too was in a place where I suppressed passion. Even artists hold back. I didn't realize I had this blockage. I think the reason I suppressed it was because I remember how intense I had felt when I was in the middle of it. Like burning in my chest and an urgency to act on it. It felt like something out of control, within a world of its own. I also remember how big of a dissapointment it was when I felt it slip away. I remember an incident once when I was shamed by someone while attempting to express my passion. It made me feel unsafe to show emotions that were so enormous, so potent. 

​So, it got buried for a while. Life becomes black and white sometimes. 

Then something happened. A great shift in consciousness. A letting go of fear. I finally got it and everything clicked into place. It has been a long lengthy process and a tumultuous journey to get to this space. But I made it somehow. 

All these words I’m saying don’t really mean anything. People are always telling us to "let go of fear" all the time. We know we “should” and yet we don’t quite know how. What does that mean exactly and how do we do it?

It begins with passion. Things that make you fall in love again. Things that open your eyes to beauty in this world. It involves falling in love with life. Small things. We must seek new adventure, inspiration and a chance to see the world with new eyes. We must discover and connect with our highest selves, our guides, soulmates and mirrored spirits, those that assist our clairvoyance. Those that help us see the truth of ourselves more clearly. We need other humans, as much as we don't want to admit it. Because we are not meant to live this life alone, and we can’t do it without learning the proper tools. We must seek those who bring about the fire within us. Not the ones who constantly put it out. 

You can only make educated decisions after you’ve seen where you don’t want to be.

​I, for one will never go back into the cave. I am committed to walking through fear. Just as I always have. Every morning, I wake up and decide to be here. I choose passion. 

Passion is the key. When you feel it, even a tiny hint of it, follow it wherever it takes you. Because we don’t have much time left.
