I inhale new life, and exhale the old. Each breath may bring renewal, if the mind and body allows. I know this, yet it does not always happen. Sometimes breathing feels like a matter of surviving.

Sometimes it means nothing at all. 

Self-Cleansing Ritual. Glazed Stoneware, 2024 / 4 x 7 x 7 inches

Rituals have become so important to me, that I am dependent on it.

It has been my coping mechanism. Lighting an incense would cleanse unwanted energies. Sometimes I feel like it doesn’t work, but I do it anyway. The more frequent I do it, the more my mind believes, and my body accepts.
