Picked Up a Few Leaves for Art
Inspired by Silk and Earth’s process of stamping leaves with dye, I wanted to see how they’d behave with acrylic on watercolor paper.
The Witch
I was browsing through my previous Procreate files earlier and found one of these pieces from my archive, just in time for Halloween.
Modern witches are not satanic.
If you’ve spent time around women who meditate or practice spiritual work, you’ve probably heard them refer to each other as a “witch.” It’s not about dark rituals, it’s them being magnetic, intuitive, and effortlessly alluring. Their energy draws you in, not through manipulation or pretense, but through authenticity. You feel it.
REMNANTS, The Extended Version
In music, some of my favorite tunes always have an extended version.
I made another version for REMNANTS, which is one of my favorite pieces in my recent series.
The bird is obviously inspired by the lovely birds that hop on my window.
The Green Flag of the Nervous System
Whenever I meet someone new and feel my system go on alert, I pause and ask myself, is this a reaction from past trauma, or is my intuition sensing red flags? The answer usually comes in an instant, which is quite uncanny.
But when I feel at ease, when my body softens instead of braces, when conversation flows without effort, that’s my signal, too. It’s that recognition of safety, what I call a green flag of the nervous system. No adrenaline, only presence. Steady breath, energy grounded. It’s not excitement, it’s calm clarity. Like strolling along Lio Beach at sunset kinda feeling.
That’s how I know someone’s energy isn’t disrupting my peace, it’s aligning with it.
So a friend asked recently, why do we get along better with friends than with a romantic partner?
At the thought of turning this into an art series, here are a few reflections that surfaced:
