Reflections on the Intimacy of Intimacy
Reflecting on my role as the caretaker of my moments of connection, I gently collecting and protecting them with care. I’m the only one who can do this job. Through loving thoughts, smiles, and nurturing self-kindness, I ensure these connections stay alive and safe. I know that if I don’t take care of myself, those precious moments will wither. But when I love myself, they grow, and my creativity flourishes. Creating is my nourishment—it keeps me grounded and connected. I feel warm, peaceful, and grateful when I’m in this flow, and through my creative work, I stay in harmony with myself and the world around me.

This poem speaks to the deep connection we have to the energy of love, life, and the world around us, reminding us of the beauty in both our physical selves and the spirit that flows through us.

Zoomorphic Portals: Crossing the Threshold
In this piece, the moment of transformation is captured through the metaphor of a zoomorphic portal—a gateway where old illusions are shed, and new understandings begin to form. It's a liminal space, a threshold, where the boundaries between the human and the wild, the conscious and the unconscious, blur and fold into one another. This "portal" symbolises an initiation into a new way of being—where time, self, and reality bend and shift. The act of crossing this threshold marks the beginning of profound transformation: a space where past illusions give way to new life, new clarity, and a deeper connection with the ever-evolving nature of existence.
