Our conditioned layers of facade, created over time between our inner instincts & our outer way of moving through the world are at play. A mental game of hopscotch from past to the conditioned present suffocates our truest expression. Jumping from square to square, we relearn how to play, to honor that young spirit & reveal more of our inner instinct. A deep desire to return to the imaginative soul we were born to be inspires a colorful transparency as we age. Our character's journey through childhood memories, juxtaposed with the monotony of middle-age unfold within the concrete vessel, Three Gems. James Turrell, "Three Gems," 2005, de Young museum.
