ReSeeding

ReSeeding is about finding peace in an unpeaceful time. This series of self-portraits, initiated during the 2020 Pandemic, explores self-compassion, preservation, in/sanity in an insane time and profound vulnerability. “ReSeeding” refers both to the need to recede into a space of quiet and deep receptivity as well as planting seeds for new beginnings.

Originally, I took to the water to escape a personal and global anxiety.  Personally, my life had a lot of movement, loss and big changes.  Globally we were becoming increasingly unhinged with precarious world events.  Submerging myself in this milky warm water without definition allowed me to go beneath the surface and listen. I could hear the sounds of my breath and my heartbeat and nothing else.  It was in this meditative submersion that I could listen beyond the global chatter of fear and uncertainty.  In this stillness I could remember the deeper truth of what we came for; to care for ourselves and each other with the utmost of grace, mercy, tenderness and unparalleled love.
