Although I originally named these pieces after the number 2, one day someone who saw my art commented “it looks like transformation in action”.
The more time passed, the more I realized these pieces actually symbolized transformation to me, so I renamed them “Transformation”. Why?
Transformation to our higher self is like a fire.
Sometimes you see dramatic results and changes in yourself and others notice as well, like the fire torching trees in a wildfire. Other times, you think nothing is happening, but it is. Slowly, deeply within, until one day it becomes obvious. This is like the fire burning un-detected underground for months and surprises people when it pops up under the right conditions and starts a new fire.
And like the fire, as you transform you release what was there, and create fertile ground for new things to emerge. The more you release, the more new growth can happen. After a fire, although things may look dead, it is not long before new shoots come up, happy to have the room, the nutrients, the light they lacked when they were surrounded by the older trees. The old trees are like our stories and attachments that hold us back from becoming who we are meant to be.
