Awakening Subconscious


The Awakening Subconscious explores themes of rebirth, growth, self-healing and the evolution of self. The central female figure blinks taking her first steps back into the physical and tangible world. She seems vulnerable and exposed, yet she is ready to leave the safety of her voluntary seclusion. It is the end of the cold still winter and the hibernation of her slumbering soul is anxiously waiting to be awakened. She is exposing her big bright eyes to the vivid spectrum of overwhelmingly beautiful colors surrounded by layers of lifelike shadows fading and growing in every brilliant shade of indigo and blue. Dreamlike visions are abstract and blurred, coming into focus, and then revealing the details of a familiar palatable memory of the past. She discovers clarity from the chaos of thoughts which cloud the constant traffic inside her blossoming mind. Always moving in days of life and never resting in the realm of a requiem of dreams. She processes the world of emotions and sensations that exist in reality, the unconsciousness and in the depths of her imagination. Cautiously holding on, yet knowing when to elegantly let go. She escapes the harsh realities of the world feeling the powerful rush of release into harmony. Inevitably floating towards a transcendent and static state of enlightenment while realizing that your state of mind is the authentic key to genuine fulfilment is where she exists.


The soothing wind breathes life into the swaying trees restoring a delicate balance. The aromatic flowers blossom once again as each petal is slowly yawning, stretching and peeling away from the protected stigma of the sweetest intoxicating pollen. The golden yellow daffodils are the quintessential symbol of the end of the dreary and desolate winter months. It is the sign that new beginnings are on the horizon of spring. A transpiring heightened sense of intense awareness manifests all magnificent beauty around you entering an ethereal state of nirvana. The blue wet rain washes away the soil of the past and brings new life for the garden to blossom and grow. Seeds expand in the ground reaching up through the rich fertile facade of soil always drawn towards the warmth of the glowing sun. Each leaf escapes the cool, damp and dark world below. Slowly venturing towards the unknown while keeping its roots protected and nourished underground with eyes and hearts wide open. The first steps into warmth and out of the shadows, we discover the soul’s salvation.
