EMERGENT Eye Mask

Home or away, eye masks are a luxury one can't afford to not have! After a late night, gentle pressure from the mask is beyond soothing for aching eyes. For a quick midday meditation, eye masks help you relax and truly breathe in the present, especially with a drop of peppermint or lilac oils. For travel, long flights and train rides, eye masks are a MUST. There are so many simple solutions that we can do every day to live healthier lives, but how often do we make the time for them? If we're honest, sleep is always on the top of that list. So grab a mask and get some rest!

ABOUT THE PAINTING:

EMERGENT: Acrylic on canvas, 2 x 4 FT.

Emergent means “in the process of coming into being or becoming prominent.” In a burst of color, a big bang, a pulse from nothingness, we explode into being. There are no moments as powerful as birth and many moments that are allegorical to it. This is exemplary to those very moments. It’s messy. It’s volatile. It’s beautiful. It’s rough around the edges. It peals us apart and pulls us together. It’s the ultimate sublime. We emerge.

Into what? Into where? We don’t know until we get there. And, at times, we may not even know were “there-there” is until we long since pass it.

This piece is an attempt at expressing that moment of becoming, the tipping point with which the momentum towards a direction becomes the direction. It’s dynamic. It’s bold. It’s rough and peeling away. It’s EMERGENT.
