  1. Why These Numbers?

    • The edition sizes are intentionally small to foster a sense of community among collectors. Owning a print from an edition of 5 or 10 means you’re part of a select group who share a connection to the work’s narrative. It also allows me to maintain creative control and ensure each print is placed with care.

  2. Open Editions (XS/Postcard Size):

    • While most of my work is limited, I offer open editions for smaller, postcard-sized prints. These are designed for accessibility: allowing anyone to bring a piece of stillness into their life, regardless of budget. They’re perfect for gifts, journals, or as an entry point to my larger body of work.

 
In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.
— Aristotle

Return to Origin is a profound exploration of the human need for stillness and connection with the earth. The figure, curled in a fetal position within a symbolic ring on the forest floor, evokes themes of withdrawal, protection, and the silent preparation before transformation. This image speaks to the universal human experience of seeking safety and recalibration in a world filled with constant impulses and distractions.

The manually created circle around the body, where the leaves are removed, represents a safe zone, a sanctuary from the chaos of modern life. It is a space where one can reconnect with the earth and with oneself, finding calm and introspection amidst the noise. The windy day on which this image was captured added a layer of meaning, as the vibrating leaves on the ground symbolized the relentless impulses of our busy culture.

This piece is a visual meditation on the importance of slowing down, of finding stillness in the midst of chaos. It is a reminder that, even in the busiest of lives, there is always a space for quiet reflection and connection with the natural world. Return to Origin invites viewers to pause, to breathe, and to return to their own inner center.
