Presents
This collection invites you to engage with each image on a personal level, allowing your own perceptions to shape the narrative. Instead of prescribing a specific meaning, I’ve chosen to include quotes that resonate with the essence of the work, offering subtle hints while leaving room for your imagination to fill in the gaps. Each photograph stands as a reflection of a moment, a feeling, or a story, waiting for you to discover its significance. As you view these pieces, let the quotes guide you, but ultimately, the interpretation is yours to create. Through this collection, I hope to evoke not just a visual experience, but an emotional and intellectual journey that deepens with each glance.

Searching for a sign (Sold) What seemed like a blink of an eye, my dark days soon became 7 years. Often I found myself sitting outside smoking a cigarette searching for a sign. I found great comfort watching the leaves dancing as they blew with the wind. Could this be a sign my mind would race? I did not feel much hope as I chose not to believe, instead becoming angry feeling like the universe was laughing at me. I kept a secret which I will share for the first time. Often during my times watching the wind, my hand would heat up. I wondered if the ghost of my mother was touching my hand the same way she consoled me as a child. Now when I see leaves floating in the wind, I look at the shadows wondering if my mother is watching. I found my sign and a new HOPE View NFT

Never Forgotten (Sold) Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die. Mary Elizabeth Frye View NFT
420 (Sold) I used to smoke marijuana. But I’ll tell you something: I would only smoke it in the late evening. Oh, occasionally the early evening, but usually the late evening —or the mid-evening. Just the early evening, mid-evening and late evening. Occasionally, early afternoon, early mid-afternoon, or perhaps the late-mid-afternoon. Oh, sometimes the early-mid-late-early morning…But never at dusk. —Steve Martin View NFT

Cotton Candy Clouds (Sold) In a dreamscape where reality’s boundaries blur, the sky transforms into an ethereal canvas. Above, fluffy pink clouds, resembling cotton candy, gracefully float, casting their surreal reflection upon the tranquil lake below. These otherworldly formations, emerging from a small store’s chimney, seem to defy the laws of nature, blurring the lines between the real and the imaginary. View NFT
The gift of imagination (For Sale) The artwork is comprised of three distinct elements: 1. The woman’s subjective perspective of reality. 2. Her imagined perception of reality. 3. The underlying truth of the piece, which is not immediately evident. The purple elements symbolize the woman’s perception of the room, featuring a surreal sky illuminating the space.The white elements embody the woman’s imaginative efforts to better her circumstances symbolized by drawings springing to life, water, Koi fish (Still in its illustrative state), large tree, and birds. This reflects her beliefs in using her imagination to influence hersurroundings.. In contrast, the reality of the situation reveals that the woman is confined to a mental asylum, in an empty sterile white padded room. Her dress is actually a straitjacket, transformed by her imagination into a white dress, preserving the bindings and abstract appearance of the jacket. Even amidst daunting challenges, we possess a strong tool: the gift of imagination. It serves as a compass, guiding us through the murky waters of reality. It enables us to transcend the limitations of the present, envisioning a brighter future. In our hands lies the potential to materialize the abstract, turning the impossible into the possible. This artwork is not a portrayal of sadness, but rather a testament to the unwavering spirit of hope. View NFT
