"Transformation"

Inspired by a psychedelic therapy session I experienced while on five grams of mushrooms. Stepping into a portal of the unknown.

"Intimacy"

Mirroring a sexual lover as equals.

"Grief"

My favorite way of release through processing grief is a good cry. Never wiping away the tears so that I can really feel them stain my skin.

"Trust"

Allowing yourself to overcome fear, and accepting that uncertainty is sometimes okay. It's fine not knowing what's to come next. Uncertainty can leave room for expansion, for hope, for inspiration, and for planning ahead.

"Guidance"

I experienced Hapé for my first time before a breath work session.

"Growth"

I sometimes will look at growth in a more sci-fi perspective - giant glass tanks filled with goo surrounding your body, with a tube transferring new data and information from your old self to your new.

"Changes"

I moved around a bit throughout twenty twenty-four, and it was challenging not having a stable place to call home. I felt as if my belongings and myself were trapped within a traveling box.

"Beak"

I dated a narcissist for two months who wouldn't allow me to voice my needs. I thought of a bird's beak being torn off by the narcissist and served on a plate for his self-fulfillment.

"Marching of Cells"

One of my weird thoughts about our cells moving throughout our bodies at all times. I thought of our cells as a colony of ants catering to the queen.

"Cells Connecting"

Another cell drawing, a close-up.

"Floaters"

Questioning the wonders behind the works of floaters in the human eye. Guidance? Significance? Just part of our experience?

"Looking Back"

After rereading an old journal of mine from when I was twenty-four living in Charleston, South Carolina. Reminiscing the freedom that I used to have compared to where I was during the time of this drawing.

"Hypnosis"

I feel like I experience a state of self-hypnosis pretty often. Sometimes during or after a meditation session, or while I'm fading out into my creative process.

"Trance Duo"

Another piece inspired by the psychedelic experience, this one held by another body. Quiet moments shared together spaced out and tuned into our own journeys.

"Hurt and Crying"

Inner-outer reflections on feeling my emotions as they come and go.

"I've Seen Enough"

While the world is on fire, I can't help but to feel the need to cut out my eyes. I remember hopping on social media on the morning of my birthday, and seeing a clip of a Palestinian child blown to pieces. It stuck with me. It bothered me. I will always have that vision in my mind. I remember reflecting on where I was in life compared to the ethnic cleansing happening in Gaza. Innocent people being erased from the planet, afraid of this potentially happening here. My heart hurts, and I've consumed a world full of hatred. I do my best to see the beauty that's left here in the world, but my eyes have seen so much darkness.

"Love, and You"

Love is all in you.

"The Turning Over"

Being the gender-fluid individual that I am in the way that I present myself to the world, I wanted to display both the masculine and the feminine energies in one drawing, through two different bodies - all connected by the universe.

"The Eye"

The eye of wonder.

"I Am So Much More Than This"

I had a pretty intense LSD journey this night. I laid down in the grass at Wash Park during my comedown, while facing up at the sky. It was late, and it was quiet. I felt every part of my being illuminate and connect to the world around me. I felt bigger than what I've always perceived myself to be. Its was a reminder that we are more than whatever we are experiencing in life.
