The Fractured Layers of Being: Echoes of Eden



"Echoes of Eden" evokes a sense of nostalgia for an untouched, primal state, resonating with the idea of fractured identity as a journey back to a deeper, more unified self.

Adding an undertone of reverence for nature and an ancestral connection within the the layered complexity of the self and a timeless, almost mythical connection to origin and purity.

The human experience is woven from layers, some visible and others hidden, forming a multidimensional self that is far more complex than we often realize.

Being human is not simply about wearing social masks or adapting to fit the shifting circumstances of our reality; it’s as if we are each a constellation of countless fractals, each piece a unique reflection that contributes to the vastness of our being.


Every layer represents different aspects of ourselves, shifting with our emotions, evolving through our experiences, and revealing new facets over time.

Each of these fragments—distinct yet connected—holds memories, dreams, fears, and joys, creating a tapestry of identity that both grounds us and mystifies us.

As we move through life, we sometimes feel a disconnection between our minds and bodies, almost as if we’ve slipped into a dream where we know the protagonist is us but find ourselves looking at an unfamiliar face.


There’s a moment of jarring realization when we snap back to our physical selves, as if crossing realities to return to a body that, in those fleeting moments, feels foreign.

This is a dance between dimensions of our own being, a reminder of how we exist both in the tangible world and in a realm of inner thoughts, memories, and energies that shape our perception of who we are.


In my latest series, I set out to capture this concept of the multilayered self, delving into the ways mind, body, and spirit blend and interact, offering us a profound opportunity for growth and self-understanding.

This is not a singular journey; it's a lifelong exploration where every sensory experience becomes a mirror, reflecting our inner worlds and presenting an invitation to transform ourselves.

I imagine the self as a dynamic canvas, where each encounter, each interaction, feeds back into our inner landscape, nurturing our evolution and bringing us closer to a more elevated expression of who we are.

Visually, this series is alive with subtle but vibrant colors, a palette chosen to embody life in all its complexity.

Soft, muted tones represent the subtle, often overlooked layers of consciousness, while splashes of intense color capture the vivid emotions and pivotal moments that punctuate our lives.

Delicate lines and geometric structures provide a framework, containers for the elements of reality that ground us, yet the forms within these structures are fluid, always shifting, suggesting that reality itself is as malleable as our inner world.

In these compositions, I draw from elements of nature—earth, plants, and creatures—but transform them into beings with otherworldly qualities, reflecting the complexity and mystery of our own multidimensional nature.

These beings are familiar yet carry an essence that feels just beyond reach, embodying a sense of wonder, a question mark within the known.


The experience of viewing these works is intended to be immersive; the observer is invited to become one with the artwork, not just visually but emotionally.

Each piece is designed to resonate on a deep level, evoking memories and feelings from the viewer’s own past, bringing forth emotions that may have been long buried or forgotten.


In this exchange, the artwork becomes a space for reflection and self-discovery, where the observer can explore their own multilayered nature.

Just as our inner self is complex and interconnected, so too is the act of witnessing these pieces—a journey from introspection to transformation, where art serves as a catalyst for awakening to the profound mysteries within.
