The View From Above is a meditation on the interconnected systems of life and the many forces, both visible and unseen, that move through the world around us. From a distance, individual forms become part of larger patterns, and the boundaries between one thing and another begin to dissolve.

I am drawn to the idea that our lives are woven into these larger systems, whether we recognize them or not. The stone tools embedded within the mosaic are a reminder of our own place within this pattern and of our long history as humans shaping and being shaped by the world around us.

There is also a spiritual dimension to the work, a sense that energy moves through matter and that there are forces at work beyond what we can readily see or understand. The View From Above invites a moment of stepping back, looking beyond the individual parts, and considering the larger whole of which we are a part.
