Mirrors Within (collection)

Mirrors Within symbolizes the journey of introspection and self-discovery, suggesting that our self-awareness is like a mirror reflecting our deepest emotions, thoughts, fears, and dreams. This introspection is not just self-examination but a more profound, more intimate exploration, akin to peering into a mirror hidden within our souls. The artworks in this collection serve as these reflections, helping to illuminate the otherwise obscured facets of the self. Each piece in the collection is both a mirror for the artist and the viewer, encouraging an interactive journey of personal reflection and introspection. In essence, the art collection tells a story of self-discovery through the medium of portraits and creative works, allowing viewers to delve into their own personal reflections while appreciating the unique introspective journey of the artist.

Mastering Self (the art)

Each of us is the protagonist in our personal epic. Where does this journey unfold? Within us. Who do we spar with? Ourselves. As Ally approached her 30th birthday, I felt a desire to pay tribute to the remarkable growth she has undergone these past four years. Witnessing her fearlessly combat her inner demons and question her long-held beliefs has been awe-inspiring. In "Mastering Self," Ally faces her ego amidst the expansive seascape of her consciousness. In this vast expanse, she might appear small, an outsider. But don't be mistaken. She's power personified. She's not here just to survive. She's here to rule.
