I made this little fellow, because lately I’ve been contemplating what it means to be human. I am 52 years old and I always thought that one day I’d find inner peace, the kind that feels stable and lasting. Somedays I do, but then there are others where inner turmoil makes me want to escape.
I’ve realized that perhaps what needs to go is the illusion that I will be a calm and equanimous person, without the highs and lows that both delight and afflict me. As someone sensitive, I feel the beauty and the tragedy of this existence, and that two sided coin seems to be my nature. Having to surrender to this condition has humbled me. I belong to the earth, feet on the ground, pain and love in my heart.
