Free To Be (2023) Size:21cm x 30cm, 8.3inches x 11.7inches I made it whist recovering

I made it whist recovering from a pretty scary stay in hospital where at times I was forced to question my mortality

Realising I was merely a traveller passing through this eden brought some new level of freedom

not mine to claim

which is something I frequently do when I'm writing

I realised how very short a human life is - that the wheels of life will turn seamlessly without me - that my existence will quickly fade into oblivion

Free To Be (2023) Size:21cm x 30cm, 8.3inches x 11.7inches I made it whist recoveringI made Free To Be as a question Are you free to be exactly as you are in any moment or do you endlessly adapt and censor your unique expression in fear or in favour of pleasing someone else? It's a reminder to connect to dimension of your being that is always, already inherently free, spacious and alive always, already enough always, already free to be.
