thank YOU Stephanie. Truly, your words felt like the most satisfying exhale.
Yes, all of it.
The thrashing of magnitude and futility, intention vs actuality, experiential dissonance- it feels like too much to hold and also, of course we want to find a way to hold it.
I have a comforting feeling that this new practice of one picture comes in just the right time as I commit to deepening my writing practice. So grateful to cross paths! xoxo
Wow. This is all so profound. The depth. The awareness. The photographs! I love the raw honesty in grappling with the dissonance of the undeniable pull to feel and be with it all and the reality of over saturation turned/masquerading as subconscious avoidance (you didn’t say this, but that’s what my heart read between the lines).
What a perfect solution…just one picture. A practice to allow for deep reflection and full presence with a moment that moved you but had to be captured and saved (as they all do…and of course they do!) but processed later to ensure the kind of attention you so desire to give every moment. The best of both worlds. One image to be fully experienced, with all the senses and memories and meanings. Deep and wide.
I’m making a lot of assumptions here, but I resonate deeply with what you wrote and with the images you shared. Maybe it’s projection mostly, but the push and pull of the desire to experience, absorb, and express everything that’s beautiful and the reality of the limitations of being a mortal human are familiar. Thank you❤️🔥

“I think a lot of the issue is in the limbo.
Incomplete expressions.
Incomplete processing.
Incomplete feeling.
- but we know when we feel satiated and when we do not.
Just as we can’t run away from problems, I can’t run towards another medium to make me feel alive again in the practice.”
thank you for inspiring clarity in my gut with your brilliant question <3 xoxoxo
