A Warm Christmas
Warmth enveloped me for what seemed like the first time Closure never seemed quite so gentle like this flame Burning with a reddish and orange glow with a mix of key-lime

Will You Be My Mountain?

We Mend, One Piece at a Time
My photo begins in Bangkok, Thailand where I visited the Yoko Ono’s Mend Piece art exhibit. The beauty of this exhibit is you are the one making the art and you are the one mending the pieces of broken ceramics. You can use glue, tape, rope or whatever is on the table to help. None of the pieces there fit, but you have creative freedom to mend them together however you see fit. The goal of Yoko Ono’s exhibit is to allow a space for healing to happen. By allowing you to experience the mending process with something so simple as mending a plate or a cup.
