TO THOSE WHO FEEL THERE IS MORE. There is . . .
There are things that you particularly know that no one on this earth is aware of . . . SECRET THINGS that you can’t put your finger on, but you feel them. You know they are unique to you and that you are special. YOU ARE A “KEY” — the world needs your Clue to restore itself.
“GRACE”
Timeless energy creates a passage asking us to locate, to feel a sense of Oneness. To become who we really are. — Sheryl A. Noday
We are privileged to start this adventure with the community of creatives and artists that have inspired and filled our magazine’s pages with thought-provoking art and deep discussions for the past 12 years. We will start our unique Theatre in the 13th year of publishing, with the premise that “We are all Time Travelers” in some sense. First steps of Gameplay involve creating an Avatar to communicate in and out of the Theatre, and there is a certain mystery to where we are going and an excitement as new Travelers connect.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT:
Time is an illusion here on planet earth. It was created, invented here. Within the idea of space, depth and the infinite, there is no time at all. And yet on earth, most of us need more time. That is the paradox.
In my painting, Grace, I explore the profound intersection of human identity. The grace of the feminine energy and quiet introspection. It is in this poignant presence of the natural world, I find time as we know it stands still. The composition centers on a figure in profile, caught in a moment of deep, meditative stillness. A space in time where we can become one with All that Is, through the portal of the natural world. The integration of the luminous white swan and organic green textures alongside the human form speaks to our symbiotic connection with nature, purity, and spiritual transformation. I love working in rich layers of deep violet-blue, warm gold, and soft rose to evoke a dreamlike, presence. The contrast between the cool tones of her hair and the warm, earthy undertones creates a visual harmony that I hope others will bask in. To loose the self of ego, to become and ultimately surrender.
Through this work, I invite the viewer to step into the art and become it. To visit a space of quiet contemplation. Reflecting on their own relationship with grace, inner strength, and the natural elements that surround us. In this way we can begin to remember.
In remembering — the delicate, as well the strength — our natural world reflects to us.
We are inviting all creatives affiliated with ZO and interested in Time Travel and Fun to join as we continue this unique project. Click the Time Theatre links for more info.
