Yoooo got 2 funky fresh lil pieces to share with ya with messages/themes close to me heart!
This lil fairy ocelot challenged me quite a bit with all the detail, as I pushed thru some recent art block I've been experiencing. Letting go of old belief systems, people, situations, habits...it's been a huge overarching theme for me. To let go and make space for new energy/experiences is the catalyst for growth. Everything is impermanent; the only constant IS change.
This goddamn system/state of the world has been getting me down, but I firmly believe that to remain creative/expressive is an act of resistance in itself. Can't let the dusty govt dim our lights man. Gotta keep speaking up against oppression, stand by your morals, call out the bullshit, support da common ppl, be a light/example to future generations. It's hard to say much on this platform but I'm sure ya catch my drift. Blessins n luv to all x
Like a deep space monster or something hehe! What does this painting make you think of?
My first #dutchpour and I couldn't be happier! Can't wait to perfect this technique and make more beauties π₯°
Fallin n stayin in love with flying since 2023 β€οΈβπ₯ this is more than a hobby for me, its a healthy outlet to feel/inflict pain. A deeply somatic practise; I've processed so much trauma and grief with this metal ring. Ill never be super circus pro (not in a put down kinda way, just logistically π), but I've realised for me this practise isn't about being perfect and beautiful...it's about how it how it made me feel, during n after. β¨οΈ
Hoping to add more drama in future but I get shy when people are watching me hehe π₯Ή
Also I couldn't decide on a favourite clip so here is the laziest edit mashing up my fav bits!!
Finally hit the big 3-0 with my fellow gremlin pixie ππ§π»ββοΈ seriously felt the love surrounded by all my nearest and dearest - hardly any pics captured cuz living life I guess. π I got to do a mix of everything I love...party hard, host a painting/breathwork workshop and some witchy activities with friends. Feeling hella blessed and ready for this next decade. My 20s were a fckin MESS and I was one very lost gal...feeling more aligned these days and have a sense of purpose for why I'm alive in this crazy world. Thank you to everyone who helped me make it to this point. π₯Ή
Nothing clean to see here but I have to remind myself I'm only in my 2nd year of noodling about on this thaaang...there's still hope my hands will fumble less hahah. ;) for some reason I only ever seem to post aerial when I'm feeling low...I guess it's just a reminder to myself that I can still have the strength to get out of bed n show up for myself. Movement is medicine for da soooul yoooo. π
I'm that friend on social media who can't decide what their lifestyle is π spring has been preeeeetty shweet so far! LAaavly times back home in ldn being silly with ma bestie, teaching yoga classes in Berlin (including a special one for a bride soon to be π₯Ή), lots of leveling up in my third year of practising aerial, exhibiting some lil art bits for the first time at an open studio day, and ofc my usual antics where i think im in a video game... My serious imposter syndrome makes it hard for me to accept myself n call myself an artist...but as a wise friend recently once said in a club smoking area "the real imposters are the ones who don't feel imposter syndrome" hahaha. π« π BIG BIG LUV to all the dope people in my life, old connections n new, you lot keep me sane. π₯Ή
P.s. art in 2nd slide is @em_vai check out this talented ladyyyy π§ββοΈ
Dave the Rave's 30th π
Ima have to get a liiil soppy here...
Maaaayn you're one of my best friends n always will be no matter where we live in the world! We've been thru such crazy shit, but I hope your next decade is a little more peaceful. Ya deserve so much happiness n all the best in life - ur a fucking angel dude, people like you make the world a better place. Never stop believing in urself n pushing urself to do dope shit, ur capable of anything you set your mind to! Blessed to have ya in me life. Big luv ππ₯Ή
I love these lil clips cuz its not really about the imperfect poses for me - these clips are all from training sessions where I laughed a lot and felt so uplifted by my lovely classmates/training buddies. So many times I've come to a session having gone the whole day in a deep pit of depression. Goofing about in class and supporting each other really got me through some hard times in the past year. Thank you beautiful aerial community. π
When I started aerial I actually quit therapy lol - it's a humbling practise, one which requires you to be curious, patient and to connect with + EMBRACE pain, breathe through it. You can see why I quit therapy then right? π Not to mention...hanging upside down is great for gaining new perspectives. If you wanna shift stagnant energy ya gotta moveeee! Try new things, push yourself, remember to breaaathe thru difficulity! Remember you don't have to be a master at everything you do, sometimes it's just about enjoying the process and having fun (this more to myself bc I do get hung up on wanting to be sick at everything I do. Sky high standards mate).
Here's to another year of obliterating my demons by learning to defy gravity π
The algo gods prefer it when I show this mortal vessel of mine; maybe it's interesting for a fleeting moment, but its the most temporary thing about me. This body warps and wrinkles...until one day it will wither away back into the ground...what I want to show you is this little piece "Void Kitties". Swipe for close up. π€
These lil guardians represent the Void, Shadow aspects of yourself, impermanence. Our human condition and societal thinking has us trying to constantly fill the Void. To reject that empty space within. We find ourselves trapped in duality - we shut away any parts of ourselves that we deem undesirable, we label parts of ourselves as bad and unworthy. We become fragmented and fearful of a time when all things must come to an end. But what if you could look into the Void and beyond it and see yourself as whole?
Sometimes livin da G life but mostly livin da serene life πβ¨οΈ
Shout out to all the cats I cuddled n fed, to Greek people for being the loveliet souls, whippin up the most bangin food, to the sun n the moon n the ocean. Nature is the ultimate artwork β€οΈβπ₯
Biggest shout out to me luv @paulvincentsnow for putting up with my insanity for the past 6 years. I know I can be a headache...especially when I've complained I'm sleepy all day...then at 1am I'm practising somersaults on the bed when you just want your peace. ππ
You fackin magical people make my heart explode π₯Ή (not all pictured but ya know who you are β€οΈβπ₯)
P.s. friends that nap together stay together!!
