SOUL GROWTH

This abstract work is about the tensions and uncertainty we experience while building our awareness of ourselves in the surrounding world. Even if we may know where and why we want to go and what to achieve, our path is often unclear and blocked with layers of assumptions, uncertainties and unrealistic expectations. I started this work by digitally layering and manipulating several abstract images of distressed surfaces until they combined to create something new. The digital outcome is printed with pigment based inks on heavy, acid-free watercolor  paper, enhanced with soft pastels, mounted on cradled wooden board (4 cm deep), fixed and varnished.
