Body of
Work
2008 to Present
Taken from a Cherokee myth:
When humans first became aware, our soul buckled under the weight of consciousness, sending a crack down our soul that split it into the heart self and the shadow self. Now we live unbalanced because of the miscommunications between these two selves and our body. The path to wholeness is in blending these two selves back together, and this process is called ‘becoming human’.
