Description
The 絢繋 | 人華 ‘By Night’ Acrylic Series
There comes a turning point when we stop performing for others, and begin reconnecting with ourselves.
It’s a form of internal bonding with who you actually are –
A recognition of ourselves that allows us to blossom into something more.
More than a career, a title, or a qualification –
Rather, to see our hidden gifts begin to show.
Beginning to see yourself as you actually are is a turbulent journey.
It has been for me.
To be honest, I’m still not sure if I’ve even arrived at a place where I can see myself fully yet.
But for now, I can see that I’m leaving behind what is no longer needed, and am exploring a new era of myself.
It’s an ongoing work of art to –
- Make peace with your past decisions
- Reconnect with your voice after performing for too long
- Trust in the changes God is making in you
These are foundational human experiences.
Without them, it’s easy for our connection with others to stay surface-level or performative.
Lately, through Japanese, I’ve been exploring Ayatsuna Hitoka (あやつな ひとか) –
- Aya 絢 – beauty – in the layers of self, not just aesthetics
- Tsuna 繋 – connection – with one’s own becoming
- Hito 人 – people – observing both myself and others
- Ka 華 – blossoming – not just through productivity and work – but through reflection, return and restoration.
Each 絢繋 | 人華 painting is part of a 33-piece collection intended to grow in personal and cultural value over time.
Subsequent editions may release gradually.
