Awakening is a dialogue and research within self to encourage seeking knowledge and lose the fear of change and transformation. Inspired by elements of nature, the series of hand painting on silk fabric explores the material as well as techniques used. My journey of "Awakening" has started during my Artist Residency in Toronto and has manifested in a new series of work about transformation, embodiment and embracing change.
Awakening
A poem by Shiva Moghaddasi

[Inserts of the poem]
I feel the cold breeze of Autumn’s greet, air smells fresh, a slight taste of the sea, the boardwalk’s sound under my feet, tlek, tlek, tlek; ... ... ... ... I stop, give you space, gaze at your shape. You, you rest, on a plank just inches away. ... ... ... ... I look at you, trying to clear my mind, my mind’s eye to see what you’re here to say, “There is always a reason”, the wise one once said ... Peace moves through my body, vein to vein, through muscles and pain, I see peace, I sense peace, I’m just Be. _____________________ Toronto October 2017 |
