We Are One

We are all given our own challenges to overcome in life. This is innate in all human beings. Every living thing on this planet lives within all of the elements at different degrees, depending upon our needs and current challenges of the time. We are connected to the elements from the womb to death through breath, water, food, light and space. We only feel disconnected due to our duality. Duality is when the world is divided into opposing pairs. When we are divided, suffering is born. When we practice non-dualism, peace and harmony can coexist.  
This sculpture is made out of aluminum rod and sheet. It is a 3Dimensional egg form. The egg is a form that continues to reveal itself as a symbolic form that has reference to my Ukranian heritage but also life. The heart in the center shows that love is being held captive until the egg/earth hatches new life. This gives hope for what I believe our planet is capable of. I believe that by loving our planet, we can overcome duality. Being connected to the earth, respecting and honoring it is the only way toward a better more harmonious planet.
