I see a royal presence here floating through life's complexities.
To feel connected with the divine is to be blessed.
Does ‘enlightenment’ cast a shadow? Maybe like hypocrisy, information bias, begging the question, a hammer looking for nails? 'Certainty' obscures objectivity.
Does this painting communicate this complex concept? No. These were thoughts that came to mind when I painted it. Hopefully this expression evokes more than my intentions.
“Practice is Enlightenment.” - Dōgen - 13th C. Zen Master
