““First, you write for yourself... always, to make sense of experience and the world around you. It’s one of the ways I stay sane. Our stories, our books, our films are how we cope with the random trauma-inducing chaos of life as it plays.”

We will always bear the marks of our past. May they enrich us, make us more compassionate, and become our greatest strength.

During my time away, I sewed constantly. I made myself clothes using textiles hand-loomed by Mexican artisans. The vibrant colors and textures brought joy to each day, and little by little I pieced myself back together again.
Phoenix 3.

You receive calls, messages and emails from friends. They are worried about you. They did not know you were going through a rough time. You tell them that in times of crisis, you are like a wounded animal. You heal in solitude.
Crisis for you is existential. It comes when you no longer know who you are, and ends when you find your center. The process is never linear. You advance by trial and error, and the duration and outcome are never predictable. The only certainty is that you will become more human.
Phoenix 2.
Handmade with rutilated quartz and recycled sterling silver.
Soon in my online shop.
You hide from everyone for several months. You have wounds to heal, inner darkness to explore. A long depression has crushed your dreams, illusions and sense of self.
You sort through the emotional wreck, until you find the deepest parts of your psyche. Those long forgotten. The ones that did not fit into the world you grew up in.
The quest to know yourself is painful, but you trust that with self-compassion you will heal, so you continue. Nothing is too sacred to question.
Mental boundaries crumble, until you have nothing to hold on to. It is time to drop the weight of your past and continue on your journey.
Phoenix 1.
Handmade with transparent quartz and recycled sterling silver.
Soon in my online shop.
I’ve had many losses in the past couple of years. My dark hair. My father’s health. My favorite uncle. My childhood. The original giddy enthusiasm for my work. My blind trust in a higher power that loves and guides me. My belief in destiny. The feeling that anything I want is possible if I set my mind to it. The certainty that I have all the time I need. My sense of magic and synchronicity.
All of this has left a hollow feeling in my chest that physically hurts. Like a punching bag that has taken too many blows. Exhausted and hunched over, I give up. I can’t do this alone. I refuse to give up on la la land. Being reasonable has made me grow up, but it has also left me weary and without super powers. Who am I, if I can’t have a rich inner world of make-believe?

“There is a fierce concentration inside of you; dormant — it is in your blood. It is the strength of your ancestors. It is the hammer and anvil of eons which struck the hardened steel of your spirit into a weapon of survival. ”

I once experienced real freedom. It came after many hours of meditation. I was no longer me, no longer the fragments of memory that make up my history. Not a child, nor a daughter, not a sister or an artist. I was not this body or these feelings. I was just space. Empty space. Terrifying and liberating space.

I still consider myself a beginner.
These are some of my favorite pieces from the past seven years.
Most of them have sold, and I do not repeat them.

My mom and I spent the day downtown. We have been going there to get fabric, findings and art supplies since I was little. We walked for blocks admiring ancient buildings, museum exhibits, crowds of people, and our favorite shops. Whenever I go, I feel a deeper connection to this incredible city.

“Did you too learn that secret from the river: that there is no time? ... That the river is everywhere at once, at the source and at the mouth, at the waterfall, at the ferry, at the rapids, in the sea, in the mountains, everywhere at once, and that there is only the present time for it, not the shadow of the past, not the shadow of the future?”
