Hidden Images & Symbolic Inventory: Native American Man in Headdress: A representation of ancestral wisdom, spiritual strength, and a connection to the natural world. He is the anchor of the piece. Crescent Moon Mirror (reflecting old studio): A portal between the past and present, the spiritual and the creative self. The moon governs intuition and dreams. Destroyed Polaroid Photos & Ripped Book Pages: The fragmentation of memory, the degradation of the past, and the beauty in its imperfect preservation. Peacock Feathers: Vision, nobility, and the all-seeing eye. Their iridescence connects to the painting's shimmering quality. Open Door with Staircase: A transition, an opportunity for ascension, or a path to another state of being. Dentist's Lamp & White Curtains: Clinical observation versus soft, veiled mystery; the contrast between what is illuminated and what is hidden. Japanese Kimono Fabric & Elephant Skin: Cultural fusion and the texture of ancient, weathered wisdom. Blue Striped Couch Corner: A domestic, mundane memory inserted into the sacred, blurring the lines between the everyday and the divine.

Sacred Memory explores the psychological terrain between the seen and the unseen — a meditation on emotion, memory, and the fragile thresholds of identity. The work invites contemplation of inner landscapes and the quiet movement of thought beneath form.
