EYES

An eye for an eye in a duel. An eye open and the other closed for focus. The blinking of the eyes is a natural response so that they would not dry out and be restless.

This pair of eyes presents a visual representation of everything. A deeper purpose for these is showing the “physically unpleasant” in the eyes of majority, to practice and to refocus on their inner being and their substance, by disregarding anything and everything they show on the outside.

What makes a whole lot of difference is the purpose of eyes does not necessarily come in having a pair, but also in closing them. Closing the eyes in not blinding one’s sight but it is in one’s openness.

HANDS

Humans have limbs, and at the end of those limbs are hands. Hands are used as tools, a weapon, and an extension of the body that is most expressive of all.

Hands are important to heal, to hold the dying and the weak, to comfort the naked, to soothe, and to resist. They pose a beautiful grasping motion, from the primitive practices, until this age that it has been a tool to create technological wonders, art, and performances; now, as we speak, to be at the moment, to feel and heal.

FEET

A pair of feet is the wandering extension of the human body that enables one to travel, to get lost, and to get back on track again.

The foot, step-by-step, leaves a trail, a mark. Ever callous, an unfelt texture by the person, bound by skin’s ability to feel whatever is to be set the foot upon.

The tales of distance can only be felt through a touch of another.

Feel to en route to happiness and contentment, one step at a time, bringing back consciousness to our nature, to be in motion, comfortably uncomfortable.

BACK

Rebuilding yourself and others is a beautiful way to emanate your own beauty while improving.

Exposing each other’s good traits will strengthen the idea of true womanhood. Running with the people who believe in you will expand more than horizons, but the horizons of other to the vault of possibilities waiting to be unfolded.

One is never too young, or too old to expose one’s self, to expand to new things that one might want to learn. This piece is dedicated to a set a support team who brings out the best in her.

A dissection of the physiological and spiritual purposes of the human body as reflected on my personal journal turned into collage art.
