My piece “EGGs Traveling Through Time”; 2019; 72×72; mixed media on arches. Was selected to be part of the exhibition. The nine squares are moments in the journey, think of it as a tic-tac-toe layout of being able to transverse in any direction at any time in many spaces.  Light reflecting on the big EGGs in the middle as a grounding balance like in the feng shui bagua where the yin yang symbol is positioned. Another moment in the metaphorical representation of life’s echoing vibrational pull.
