The Paradox of Presence
Time isn’t real. And yet this is where everything unfolds.
I’m learning to live awake inside the dream,
not escaping the illusion, but meeting it with reverence.
Birth of the wing
Studio Note : 2
Time does not exist, yet here I am, moving through it. The moment is not real, and yet this is where it all unfolds. Now is not a thing, but somehow it is everything. This is the paradox I have been sitting with the dance between illusion and meaning, emptiness and reverence.
What I am realising more and more is this: nothing has meaning, and yet everything does because of how I relate to it.
This life, this form, this timeline, it is a projection, yes. But I am here. I am creating with Source. With full awareness that it is a dream, I am still moved to paint, to speak, to feel. I bring meaning to the meaningless. That is the gift of consciousness.
It is not about escaping the illusion. It is about walking through it awake. Not being lost in it, but also not denying it. Making peace with it.
The veil is not something I am trying to lift anymore. I see through it, but I do not need it gone. I do not need it to be real to let it be sacred.
Because the sacred lives in how I relate, how I show up, how I love, how I create.
Even the silence holds something when I meet it with presence.
So if these coming months are quiet, so be it. If everything empties out, let it. I will still be here, in the paradox, holding the flame, watching the dream shimmer and shift as I create my way through it.
The Bridge
Step inside the quiet space where art and intention meet. In this first note from the studio, I share how creation flows from deep connection and how meaning unfolds through the process. Join me in exploring the subtle dance between presence, feeling, and form.

Notes from the Studio
This is the beginning of a series called Notes from the Studio , quiet reflections tracing the inner pathways behind the art.
There’s a space I walk, a bridge between two worlds: one rooted in structure and matter, and one that speaks in energy, feeling, frequency, and trust. I am not floating or escaping. I am building, from the inside out.
I’m not here to decode everything I make or shape it to go viral. This work is meant to be felt, sensed, and experienced. Still, the mind often seeks understanding and sometimes that understanding arrives gradually, unfolding during the creative process or long after a piece is complete.
When I’m creating, I’m fully present. Each stroke, each movement, carries intention. But the meaning of the work isn’t always immediate. It reveals itself slowly, as a quiet dialogue between the piece and myself. That unfolding is part of the transmission.
You’re invited to meet it where you are not through explanation, but through resonance. This is not about arriving at answers. It’s about stepping into the space between understanding and sensation the place the heart already knows
If you feel the work, you are already part of this unfolding.
