HeArt and Soul The Path of Resiliency
Walking in the Halls, Staring at the Walls
Your eyes gaze at me, as you see the hall looking miles away,
This is now your new home and your here to stay.
You have no idea your being used, by the disease.. you cry and your confused,
Walking down the halls in circles day and night, waiting for yourself to be gone and see the light.
I walk in and you ask me, “are you here to kill me, please kill me now”.
As your mind is gone, your soul is here, you don’t recognize or know anyone near.
You pack your bags everyday, waiting for you family to pick you up as your mind continues to decay.
You want your mom, dad, and son. They passed away and are gone. And you don’t know that this disease is taking over you for way to long.
As I watch you decline I’m scared and so are you. We are all blinded by the medicine they say it will help us you see, but all honestly it makes us feel more like a zombie.
You walk and sit, look at a blank wall.. what do you see? As perceptions change and so does game. Theres nothing we can do. I keep lying to myself that I can help you.
Now all I can do is to look away, and pray some day you’ll be at peace and cast away.

Dukkah
The process of making Dukkha was not planned; it came alive naturally through the flow state of mind. This was focused on an art therapy prompt, tuning in. As we may be tested in life, these unpleasant moments is something that we live with, although we can choose it it lets us grow or fall. As the person, releases these entities of experiences that no longer serves her. We create our own meaning, representing a series of events and transformations throughout one’s life. As the layers of pain poor all around, there is still a peaceful release throughout the chaos. Dukkha is another word for suffering, symbolizing not feeling completely at ease. This painting signifies the purity that darkness brings, and facing own inner and outer conflicts. Dukkha, symbolizes growth in the darkness, reshaping and changing. Suffering and pain is condition that can never be ignored. This piece also symbolizes the following; survival of the fittest, evolution, darwinism, human and animal existence, and world and self-destruction. It also symbolizes the layers of memories in the head, natural desires and balance throughout the chaos.
You’ll Never Get That High Until…
This therapeutic self-expression was an expression and statement of the numerous amount of friends that have passed away due to drugs. As you may know, heroin has become a tragic epidemic in society today. This seriously addictive drug, has destroyed many individuals and continues too. Drugs are something that invites many individuals into a black hole and in which then they become comfortably numb can’t get out.
The LIVE/LOVE door mat invites you in…and represents how welcoming alcohol is. A socially acceptable habit that is like a welcoming door mat that invites many individuals into a gate towards addictions. This piece of art came from a vulnerable place, was difficult to make…
Description: Each bottle had a different drug in it… if i had the full photo you would see different drugs in it.. start with tobacco, weed, condoms (sex), pills, mushrooms, LSD, White Powder (cocaine), then syringes all inside large handle bottles, and at the very top is a nuse… my goal is for individuals to be touched by the message to get help, seek awareness, and love themselves because.. YOU MY FRIEND ARE WORTH LIVING AND I LOVE YOU.
…RIP to…..(ENTER NAME).

Nature is pure and can be created through the imagery of our mind. This piece transformed through 4 years being a large sky into a world unknown. I took an old painting that was run down, forgotten and turned it into a new memory, reborn. Symbolizing sometimes we have to destroy beautiful things in order for more beauty to come forth. I transformed this piece just as this piece transformed me. The inspiration was imagery through meditation. I envisioned my own true ultimate nirvana, in the presents of nature. This empowering piece guided me through my meditations opening up my chakras and becoming more in tuned with my inner being. My dreams, perception and desires are constantly changing. Painting this enabled me to calm my mind after chaotic fires ran through my body. This provided me with a powerful life lesson, “sometimes-bad things happen for a good reason”. This experience of rebirth, freedom of pain, finding happiness and quiet in a chaotic place helped me bow in gratitude towards all that is enabling me to fully appreciate my beautiful mind.
