Beyond Belief
April 18th–May 4th, 2025
Beyond Belief is an exhibition of mindfulness meditations made by sorting through mental overload from a carnival of lies. Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time (T. Merton). My artwork has always reflected on the idea of personal growth and transformation. I consistently explore the themes of transition, renewal, and energy. They are powerful metaphors for the human experience. When navigating mental overload, it suggests chaotic emotional thoughts. Meditating artistically, is not simply a distraction, but rather a way to relax and alter the mood. My medium of fused glass is a creative process that embraces both clarity and distortion. When I cut and layer the glass, I embrace the process of untangling my thoughts into an organized composition.
The “carnival of lies” in our political landscape is where truth and illusion blur. The idea that truth and illusion are related has been explored in the context of politics and spirituality by philosophers, psychologists, and theologians. I seek introspective insights by wrangling my own waves of emotion. Through the creation process I am working to accept how one person's lie can be another person's truth.
