Sight

I created the series Five Senses for my solo show titled Timeline. The show represented a timeline of events that have affected my life in important ways from childhood to adulthood. The series Five Senses in particular was about

inner growth and about becoming more self-aware and self-connected. Our senses allow us to have experiences. I see them as doors to learning and growing.

The idea for Sight was to focus on "looking" within and letting my thoughts run free to "see" what came up in my mind. I drew each eye carefully and slowly in a ritualistic motion. With each eye I repeated the mantra: look within.
