The Heroic Cycle

"The usual hero adventure begins with someone from whom something has been taken, or who feels there's something lacking in the normal experiences available or permitted to the members of his society. This person then takes off on a series of adventures beyond the ordinary, either to recover what has been lost or to discover some life-giving elixir. It's usually a cycle, a going and a returning."

- Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth

In my Heroic Cycle series I chronicle my own heroic journey; cycles of transformation and change that resonate with universal human experiences found in mythology and popular fiction. Each piece is raw emotion and personal experience translated into physical form. Although each one has been created separately as an expression of my emotional and mental state at that given moment, the progression of the story, or the heroic cycle as Campbell would say, has become evident.

Through a captivating fusion of digital media, I invite viewers to embark on an inner odyssey, resonating with the timeless wisdom of ancient techniques and contemporary insights. Each piece encapsulates a powerful narrative of the heroic quest, mirroring our own personal journeys and the universal human experience.

Within these vibrant canvases, emotions of hope, self-awareness, and empowerment unfurl, serving as a guiding light amidst life's challenges. The imagery was deliberately constructed to convey as sense of wonder, prompting introspection and inviting viewers to embrace their own potential for growth and transcendence.

As an artist, my intent is to ignite a spark of inspiration within each observer, awakening their innate capacity to evolve and overcome obstacles. With every brush stroke, photograph, and fractal, I weave a tapestry of possibilities, urging us all to recognize our unique heroism and embrace the profound beauty of transformation.

This series seeks to remind us that we are the architects of our own destinies, capable of rewriting our narratives with courage and purpose. By engaging with this spiritual art, may we find solace in the ever-present opportunity for renewal and self-discovery, embracing the profound voyage that lies within us all.
