Painted at 16 yrs old during a time when my world felt heavy and the void felt deep. An unexplainable sadness lingered behind the kindness of my smile, but it was nothing short of confusion. A sense that there was something more to be witnessed in our existence than this mediocre lifestyle that drained me to my core. Discomfort had always been there. It wore a mask that said “warrior up” “be strong” and “just accept it”. But there was no bone in my body that could “just accept” the reality of living in survival mode all the time. The fire in my soul screamed for a justice that was unfamiliar, rooted in anger. It was a justice of remembrance. A justice in the reclamation of truth, the art of living. The call to break through the mold of conditioning, to see beyond the polarity, the illusion and the influence of greed, power and hatred. It was the call to return to the memory of who we really are. And in doing so I devoted my path to the exploration of this truth. It was one of the hardest medicine walks of my life…but the end of one chapter…is only ever the beginning of another. The Art of Breaking Chains was written halfway through the pilgrimage off grid next to a Volcano in Aotearoa, The Land of the Long White Cloud. It is a stepping stone and a gateway into revealing a 10 year journey across the globe in the most extraordinary and unusual way. In humility and in faith. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68d6c32b6e835e5a85f2b440/1761347017582-B9FEYJM19HFPKQU7BH6C/ABC1.jpg Our Story - The Art of Breaking Chains
