The Trip series is a multimedia series incorporating portraiture, paint, video, and spoken word. Composed of seventeen mixed media pieces.
Individuals who have chosen to take the journey into self are represented in the Trip series. Each mixed media piece created is an artistic depiction of how each person’s journey differs although we’re faced with the same person, ourself. Our greatest enemy is often the person staring back in the mirror.
It takes courage and heart to make the decision to look in the mirror and focus our attention on the person looking back. It takes heart to look in the mirror and address the parts of ourselves that aren’t pleasant, the parts we all wish to hide, suppress, or deny. The trip is not a journey everyone chooses to take though it is a trip worth much more than we could ever imagine. The trip is life-changing and reaps rewards beyond our wildest dreams. This journey allows us to heal childhood traumas and ignites love in ways that are no longer associated with pain. It brings peace to our lives as a whole. It teaches us how to forgive ourselves and others, which leads to countless possibilities and opportunities. We begin to effortlessly live a life of love, peace, and joy while gaining a sense of freedom through the realization that the only thing truly holding us back from all we’ve dreamt to be is ourselves.
“I believe we all desire to love and be loved, and when we choose to journey inward, that love begins to reveal itself in the most profound ways allowing us to release the illusions that keep us blinded from all life has to offer.”
