Finished in a day.
This piece is the first of 4 made in January. Dad passed away on January 1st of this year.
This picture contains a lot. The main figure has Celtic roots. A positive and negative expression on opposite sides, with a third face in the middle. A sensation of often being caught in the midst of things, trying to find a balance between positive and negative.
The throat is twisted. A lot has gone unsaid, and it's made things difficult. Unseen/Unheard core beliefs at play. The left arm is also twisted by the wrist. A creative block that this piece helped unlock, along with regular journaling which came a few weeks later.
There are Stop and Play icons. Grief hits the brakes on life. And you can feel like you're caught in a stop/start motion for a long time. Notice how the play sign is in the palm of the right hand, and coloured green - the colour of the heart chakra. The ability to move on is within reach, and to heal and move on comes from the heart, and your feelings.
The mountains are also coloured green, but a fainter shade. They indicate grounding, strength and infinity - but their snowy peaks are coloured dark grey. Innocence overshadowed by grief. Perhaps indicating this piece lies somewhere between dream state and waking nightmare. The snow seems to trickle down the mountain, almost liquid in appearance. Life is fluid, and what overshadows you in thought and feeling provides an opportunity to sink or swim.
Behind the figure is a dolmen - an ancient, monolithic portal tomb. Notice how the Stop icon is part of this tomb. How death is an inevitability set in stone that stops this chapter of life - but through it; allows the soul to continue into the next. A medium said last night that those in spirit are truly free, it is we who live on this earth who know suffering.
The owl is a guide - wisdom and knowledge. An eternal knowing, and a call back to ancient ancestors. The sky is painted a deep red. The end of a day - the beginning anew.
The figure's chest is an hourglass, with the sand pouring out onto the ground. Mortality, and the ebb and flow of time. The sand gathering in a mound, upon the ground which is brown, and shaped like an ancient burial mound. The collapse of linear time when confronted with grief.
The standing stone to the left has an ancient Celtic spiral - transformation, spiritual unfolding, also coloured in the tones of the heart chakra.
I knew 2025 was going to be a big year for me. Both in terms of developing my clairvoyant abilities, and also finding a partner, and spreading my wings. There's been a great many changes, and it all began on January 1st when my father passed away.
This picture asks you to:
Stop, feel, and witness this moment.
