Unusual Unfamiliar Unknown.
Can you encompass existence? Are you familiar with the need to cling to something, to feel safe or experience some sense of security?

Then the realization dawns that life is too big to control. And the attempts to do so stem from a deep need and uncertainty, but actually bring no solace.

This work from 2023 explores the awareness of the great unknown in life. It plays with the need to cling, and in contrast to surrender to a deep emptiness.

To discover that this familiar unpleasant feeling might not be fear, but rather a reluctance to enter the great unknown.
What would you do?

A poetic exploration

Unusual Unfamiliar Unknown.
Can you encompass existence?
make it tangible. Get a sense of touch. Or grab onto it?

Or perhaps just let life in.
Open to it and Receive.

Let go and observe.
Can you encompass existence?

I deepen.
And I do not disappear.

Feel a vulnerability.
A childlike smallness.

A fear of being fully present in the world.
Or is it simply unfamiliar and unknown.

Can you encompass existence?
