Bold Hold
📍UTOMA (Utah Contemporary Museum of Art)
After a long awaited *few months*, I was reminded I visited Utah, specifically UTOMA. One, this a sign for me to slow down. Slowing down is hard. Slowing down makes my anxiety tremble. I’m not completely sure why but I think it reminds me that my life is worth living, not surviving. Two, I am working on sitting in my spaces. God blesses us with gifts, yet, while living in the space, we are asking for another. However, the “want for more” could be the insecurity of believing that your blessings aren't for you. Blessings are never mistakes or accidental. But why does it feel so hard to lavish in them? There is some type of comparison, whether to an individuals or the ideal individual. My issues lies in "Am I good enough for God?". I erase those thoughts when they come, but they come as a testing moment.
Anyways, back to UTOMA. I stumbled upon this museum in my general search in the Salt Lake City area. For a university-based museum, I expected to see pieces from students and maybe local honoraries. But, no, it was a full collection that was handpicked and designed. Words can't fully explain the magnificence of the building, so I would highly recommend UMOCA to anyone.
