As Above So Below

This past August I went to New York on my first ever solo creative trip. I’ve seen New York as my 'home’ for many years and have never taken my artistry there until 2021 but, this trip was different. I showed up for myself in a way I’ve wanted to for many years now and watching myself bring this collection to life on my own in the presence of my friends made it worth while.

What an emotional rollercoaster this has been for me. I was going through so much emotional and mental turmoil during this time in my life and this shoot grounded me in a way I didn’t know I needed. My artwork has always shown me so much symbolism and I’m typically unaware until the final product comes around. "As above, so below" was created to showcase light and dark. The juxtaposition of everything existing all at once because they're one of the same. Hence the contrast of both colors being shown together.

At the time, I couldn't tell the difference between lightness and darkness. They were smearing together and my life felt consumed by more dark then light. But, this trip was a rectifying moment in my life where the veil was lifted. The light started shinning on me in a way I haven't felt in many years.

I hope you see the emotion behind these photos and I hope you feel the love that was in the room. My amazingly talented friend @lilfilmroll and @sitdowntopiss helped me bring this project to life and i’m so grateful to have worked along side these men who I not only admire in many ways but, made the woman in the room feel safe. So, cheers to more intentional art on the way and showing up for yourself more than you show up for others.

Much Love.
