30x40in mixed glowing media on composted canvas

"The Path of Totality" stands as the crowning jewel of my Totality Collection, a masterpiece born from my journey of profound transformation. Created over the course of two months, this stunning piece bears witness to the raw emotions of grief, rage, fear, powerlessness, loss, and sadness, evoked by the harrowing events unfolding in Palestine.

As I grappled with the weight of collective trauma, "The Path of Totality" became a vessel for processing and transmuting these emotions into art. Composed on a canvas that has been composted and reborn from an older painting, this piece embodies the cycle of destruction and renewal, mirroring the tumultuous landscape of human experience.

The theme of "The Path of Totality" extends beyond the celestial realm, drawing parallels to the density in tectonic plates shifting collectively. Just as the path of totality in an eclipse represents a moment of alignment and convergence, this artwork captures the convergence of emotions and energies, distilled into a singular expression of resilience and hope.

Hidden within its depths are layers only revealed with blacklight illumination, serving as a metaphor for the hidden dimensions of life waiting to be uncovered. Just as these hidden layers emerge under the transformative power of light, so too do the hidden truths and potentials within ourselves.

Wrapped in the words of the Metta prayer, “may all beings be free”
