This piece is part of a series called 'Let Go.'
This is the second piece in the series where I used a background that was not empty white space. This collage began with a hot orange background, which I ultimately whited out, bringing me peace with this piece. I preserved a little bit of heat around the seat, calling for me to settle down and settle in. Through this process, I found a sense of tranquility and grounding, inviting viewers to pause and immerse themselves in the moment. It serves as a reminder to embrace moments of stillness amidst life's chaos, finding solace in the simplicity of being present.
More on the 'Let Go' Series:
Using a diverse array of collage materials, I enlist gravity's help to compose this series. After selecting my collage materials, I relinquish control and let them fall where they may—literally. In doing so, I suspend my thoughts and conditioned habits, resulting in outcomes more interesting than I could have imagined. Once the procedure is complete, I reclaim the power of assigning meaning, as we humans often do.
Much like life's journey, this series portrays a cycle of choice, chance, acceptance, and interpretation. I encourage viewers to spend time with the work, asking themselves: What could it be? What could it mean to me?
