Over the past few months, my inner world has been collapsing and rebuilding itself in real time.
This piece is the clearest map I’ve ever created of what that process actually feels like.
The child at the base is the part of me I spent 33 years avoiding. The spot in my soul where shame, fear, and abandonment first took root. Every emotional purge I’ve gone through has led me down those red steps to sit with him, finally, without running.
The central figure is the version of me learning to open doors inside my own body. Heart, throat, mind. Letting truth move through places I used to keep locked. The skeletal guardians aren’t demons. They’re guardians of my shame. They’re honesty itself. They only let me pass when I come without masks.
The twin figures above are the integration of my inner masculine and feminine, the union of polarity I’ve been stepping into both within myself and within my relationship. Which has been a huge factor in my awakening. Thank you to my girlfriend Leah, for being the catalyst of me finally waking up to myself and my truth.
The Solar Eye at the top is the part of me that has been watching this whole process unfold. Patient, ancient, and quietly guiding me upward.
This piece is the story of my descent, my unraveling, and my return.
It’s the moment my awakening stopped being terrifying, and became my truest path.
This process has been and will continue to be difficult. But, I feel alive to the first time since I was a child. I am no longer numb. No longer ruled by shame. No longer running.
I challenge you to put your phone down. Stop overworking yourself. Stop chasing attention/validation. Stop watching porn. Stop doing drugs (the bad kind, lol). Stop drinking. Stop partying. Stop watching TV. Stop doom scrolling.
This world is setup to keep you from realizing your full power. You are powerful. Your body remembers. It knows what to do if you let it.
I’ve had spiritual gifts my whole life (I believe everyone does) but I truly believe they are currently firing on all cylinders. I am meant to use my gifts to help people heal through my art. If you are in need of healing and would like to commission a piece from me to help you in your healing process and interpret your shadow intuitively, please shoot me a DM.
I’ll leave you with this poem that goes with the piece.
Down crimson stairs my shadows screamed,
A child I hid, a child I dreamed.
I knelt before his trembling fear,
And whispered, “You are safe. I’m here.”
The guardians rose with fire and bone,
They carved the truth into my throne.
Through doors of heart and mind and breath,
I walked the halls I once called death.
Above, the twins of flame and rain
Rejoined the halves I’d severed in pain.
And from the sky, the watching sun
Said softly, “Rise, your work’s begun.”
My world unraveled strand by strand,
Until I reached my own true land.
Awakening isn’t light alone
It’s meeting darkness… and coming home.
