“King of Consciousness” highlights the power, sensitivity and fluidity of our own thoughts as we move through space and time in this unorthodox Universe. Even if it’s just for a fraction of a second, art has the ability to hold us captive to an alternate reality. Too often, we judge what is and what shouldn’t be, while others explore the possibilities of what could be. My pictures are here to encourage you to push your own limits and challenge your reality.
The picture focuses on the “King of Consciousness”, an abstract individual in a world comprised of many different elements. Containing elements from different worlds, for example, oceans, clouds, meditation, floral patterns, and more, this piece was a spark to my exploration of ideas translated to an image. The word “Live” is hidden, and as the inaugural piece to this continuous series, I always encourage the viewer to look closely for hidden messages, objects, and characters.
