BONE GARDEN: The Seeds 🥀💀

Before the relics, there were fragments...
Textures.
Collages.
Cracks.
Portals.
Fire.
Dark nights of the soul.

This was myself slowly unraveling-
Healing, Transforming.

I didn't realize I had been creating this body of work for years. Quietly. Instinctively like roots growing beneath the surface.

These pieces were my earliest rituals-
My first rebirths and excavations:

1) Bloom 💐 Mixed Media Collage
2) Emersion 🎨 Mixed Media Collage
3) Metamorphosis 🦋 Mixed Media Collage
4) Deconstruction 💙 Watercolor & Ink
5) Fracture 💜 Watercolor & Ink
6) Soul Catcher 🐦 Acrylic Painting
7) Grand Opening 🧡💙 Mixed Media
8) Severance 🎀 Mixed Media
9) Fiery Anticipation 🔥 Photograph

✨ Today, under the new moon, I plant the seeds with intention.
✨ Tomorrow, the first relic arrives.

💀🥀 Join me in the garden.

💀 Death has always been my favorite doorway.

I love death.
Not in a morbid or macabre way, but because it’s a portal-
a doorway to a new path.

I’ve been drawn to themes of transformation and rebirth for a long time. It never gets old, because every doorway leads to something new: new opportunities, new adventures, new ways of living and being.

That’s why I love skulls.
They represent the endings of what’s no longer aligned and the permanent reminder of the truth beneath the surface.

Butterflies are not only beautiful, magical creatures,
they are the living embodiment of metamorphosis-
the calm after the chaos, the emergence from the void.

This piece represents life and death in their synergistic cycle of endings and beginnings. I've died and been reborn countless times.

The most beautiful part of death is the surrender-
the moment you allow yourself to die in order to be reborn into something more beautiful than you imagined.
That takes faith, courage, and the belief that you are worth dying for.

I just experienced one of my most radical rebirths to date,
and it felt right to share this piece with you now.
I hope it inspires you to take the leap into your next chapter.
