The Doorway
Self Portrait - 21 July 2021
Do you believe in doorways?
Maybe it's in the spiritual way or just the physical way. Ether way doorways are often used to represent transition. The passage between one place or state of being and the next. These doorways might be for instance; childhood to adulthood, moving to a new place, life to death, being diagnosed with an illness or letting go of things that have weighed you down.
It's never easy leaving one part of life behind and moving on to another, but it is needed, for us to grow, understand and to overcome those things which we can not change. I believe a lot of us are afraid of the threshold between one place and another. We worry if things will change for the good or the bad and if we made the right choices along the way, but at the end of the day there is no way for us to know for sure. You just gotta ride that pony until it gets you there and hope for the best. We can't change things of the past, but we can accept and learn from them. And hopefully we change for the better.
I believe in doorways, I'm currently going through one right now. Moving my art and work into a more personal realm of fears, optimism and chronic illness. Hoping to insight optimism and inform those around me with not just my art, personality and love.
Yes, I'm new in the fields of daisies and I will make mistakes, but I'll learn from them each step of the way.
So tell me, do you believe in doorways? Are you currently going through one?
