"Moksha"
"Shambhala"
"Saddhu"
Three part mixed media series, 2024. The ascetic lay under the banyan tree, the fungi took hold of his brain. He achieved moksha for his madness and now his soul non/exists within Shambhala.
"Cleansing"
Mixed media collage, 2024.
"It'll Kill You In Time"
Mixed media illustration, I was still working in education back then, a very frustrating position where I feel like I let down my students and the admins did everything to make a bad situation worse. Listened to Elliott Smith's Coming Up Roses to cool down as i sketched, the title is a line from that, 2022.

Hakuin Ekaku (白隠 慧鶴, January 19, 1686 - January 18, 1768) was one of the most influential figures in Japanese Zen Buddhism. He is regarded as the reviver of the Rinzai school from a moribund period of stagnation, refocusing it on its traditionally rigorous training methods integrating meditation and koan practice.
