One Dies, One Grows | Mixed Media Pulling inspiration from the earth below our feet, this piece portrays the cycle of energy dispersal. Trapped in a repetitious and unending sequence, the death of one gives life to another. Detritus gives way to scavengers, giving way to hunters. Hunters become the hunted, and their bodies dissipate back into the earth. Tethered to their roles through the thirst of survival, such order promotes the wealth of life as it exists today. When one dies, one grows strong.

“Release” -- Inspired by the story of Laika, the first dog in space. Laika’s story is tragic, reflecting on humanity their greed and desire to “win” the space race in the 1950′s. She was found on the streets, and due to her kind demeanor was transported to a lab to be experimented on. There, she would eat gel cubed food, withstand 20+ hours of confinement so small she could not move her body, and throughout it all she never once showed aggression to her captors. Russia wanted to showcase it’s technological prowess, and so months before they were set to launch, Laika was sent into space. She was never meant to come down. They put cyanide in her food, to euthanize her once she reached orbit. However an even deeper tragedy struck; as she reached orbit, the heating systems malfunctioned and she suffered extremely hot temperatures, cooked from the inside. Many illustrations celebrate Laika as the first dog in space, forgetting that she had little choice in the matter. Despite the monument held in her honor, scientists admitted that due to the rushed deadline to build the rocket and the information gained after her demise, it was not worth the sacrifice of her life.

5 of Cups, for the Woven Path Tarot. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/changelingart/the-woven-path-tarot --

How many negative emotions can one card represent? Quite a few in the case of the Five of Cups! In a general context, the Five of Cups Tarot card can represent sadness, loss, loneliness and despair. When this card appears it indicates that you are focusing on the negative. This may be the result of some sort of trauma or unwelcome change you have suffered. As such, this card can signify heartbreak, divorce or separation. The Five of Cups also tends to appear if you have suffered a recent bereavement as it represents mourning and grief. It is a card of emotional baggage and instability and can signify that you feel deep remorse, regret, anger, sorrow or disappointment. It is also the Minor Arcana card of abandonment and can either represent you being abandoned by someone significant to you or you abandoning plans or people in your life. It can also indicate loneliness or isolation. However, for all the negative connotations this card can bring there is a positive message underneath it all. The figure depicted in the card is crying over the spilt cups and seems to be oblivious to the fact that two cups are still upright. This is reminding you that no matter how bad things may seem there is always a silver lining, you just have to choose to see it.
