Emerging Stones
Emerging Stones is a painting where the stones are approximately the size of my 5.2 cm nodule. These stones, rendered in shades of blue, white, and gold, embody the unknowns that each stone carries—whether they could be cancerous or benign, and how their true nature remains hidden. The gold wash over the water suggests that the stones are surfacing from beneath the golden water, illustrating that not all unknowns are necessarily negative. The piece also delves into the idea that emotional pain can manifest physically, often revealing deeper layers of meaning and experience that are not immediately visible.
Colors
In the show "Ripples," the colors play a significant role in conveying the themes of healing and transformation. The deep blue symbolizes the throat chakra, associated with communication and self-expression, reflecting the journey of finding one’s voice. The use of gold and white represents light and healing, inspired by a meditation practice where I visualized my body as darkness—either black or dark blue—and with each inhale, golden light would radiate outward, removing the darkness. Once the darkness was cleared, I would repeat the process with the color white, further emphasizing purification and renewal. These colors create a visual narrative of healing and the gradual emergence of light from within.
