Hidden Gems I and II reflect the Earth’s complex layers as a metaphor for the intricate layers of our lives—each layer interdependent, forming a dynamic and harmonious whole.

The physical layer anchors us, the solid ground beneath our feet bearing the marks of our journey and grounding us in reality. The emotional layer flows like a river, constantly in motion, ever-changing, carving pathways through the landscape of our soul. It carries the whispers of joy, the cries of sorrow, the storms of anger, and the calm of peace, nourishing our spirit along the way. High above, our mental and spiritual layers stretch like the sky, vast and boundless—a realm of thoughts, ideas, dreams, and beliefs that illuminate the path of our purpose.

Beneath it all lie hidden gems —places that hold our deepest convictions and values, where the seeds of companionship are sown and grow into trees of friendship and love. In this space, we find solace and strength, where our roots entwine with those of others.

Hidden Gems I and II hang together and can be reversed. See them in action on my Instagram account here.
