This artwork conceptualizes my journey through the pandemic. It signifies the mind- body connection and how one’s outside world is a reflection of their inside world. The gift of meditation allowed me to reconnect with myself, tuning out the outside “noise.”

In a sense, it felt like coming home because I was out of touch with myself for so long. The juxtaposition of black and white symbolizes how dark times lead to brighter days – we transform our lives by going within. We can colour our thoughts to find meaning; stillness takes us deeper, to a place of catharsis and healing.
