Ascension to Creation

Feeling blue is about the initial stage of a breakup, unsure how to move forward I cocooned myself to the world, returning back to myself. The darker brush strokes underneath represent the pain trying to pierce my bubble while the lighter cell-like forms are seen as the emerging stages of healing. Relearning how to protect myself.

Once the initial pain began to fade, all of the time spent on us returned to me, so I pushed myself to do everything that would help my mind be in a better place. I began to meditate, get back into yoga and fitness, and surprisingly, it cleared my head in the mornings enough to get through my to-do list for the day. I felt better, the pain still stinging every now and then, but I was better.
All of these little adjustments to improve my life guided me to find purpose, separating my desires from society’s. And I felt that these small improvements day by day were sending signals to the universe of where I wanted to go, and I slowly started to hear their messages.

(This is for the spiritually awakened)
In one of my dreams, I saw a portal opening but I was never able to enter it.
The next week, my yoga instructor started off the class by making everyone state their intentions for the class, mine was to release doubt in myself. Releasing doubt in my capabilities, my purpose, and what no longer exists.
While resting after class, I went into a meditative state where I was finally able to enter the portal. While I was there, I was guided to this dark ocean and I kept swimming deeper and deeper into the darkness but I afraid to touch the bottom, and as soon as I did, it began to glow and light began to enter from all corners and slowly coral reefs started to grow and life began to follow it.
Through this I realized that in order to heal, and elevate myself, I have to go into the darkness, the pain, the sorrow, to find my light.

This isn’t a piece that symbolizes the epitome of healing, rather a reminder of the light within you, the spaces in your life that you ignore but deeply fulfill you. Learning to go into yourself in order to see the aspirations in your life grow.
