The title weaves a richly layered metaphor that explores self-actualisation and identity as a dynamic, evolving process rooted in continuous transformation, our perceptions and the cyclical renewal of humanity and Mother Gaia. Drawing on the ancient Egyptian symbol of the scarab, emblematic of rebirth, creation, and the movement from darkness to light, the collection evokes a self that is continually becoming, much like the spiral: a universal symbol of growth, evolution, and the non-linear unfolding of time.
This union of motion, mantra and mindfulness evokes metaphysical traditions from alchemy, sacred geometry, and mysticism, where the spiral represents both descent into the unconscious and ascent toward awakening, and the third eye (or 3I Atlas) suggesting self-realization through divine insight.
Further exploring universal themes of reflection, mirroring, and interconnectedness, at this crucial point in humanity’s existence, “SCARAB: I am a spiral within, Eye within the Spiral” invites us to explore how our thoughts, words, and intentions shape our reality.
How could the act of a genuine smile to a stranger ripple further in the pond of reflection?
What happens when we shift our perception of the world? How can we align our consciousness with the universal resonance, the Schumann heartbeat of Mother Gaia? If we were all aligned with her natural rhythm, could we transform both our inner world and therefore our outer world?
In the East, there is the belief that chanting OM stabilizes the breath, slows the heart rate, and tunes us into a state of clarity, allowing access to deeper insights. Like OM, our thoughts and words plant the seeds for personal manifestation. By tuning ourselves to the frequency of creation, we align with the universal field of possibility, accessing the energetic substrate from which all potential emerges.
Central to this collection is the concept that our personal frequency spirals outwards and upwards, like dominos, creating a ripple effect that influences everything around us.
“When you change the way you see things, the things you see change.” When we change the way we perceive the world, it shifts and reflects that change. The concept of a spiral, deeply embedded within each of us, guides us to understand that every thought, word, and intention ripples through time and space, projecting our reality into being.
What is my ability to respond, to take a deep breath and to be responsible with my thoughts? How is that different from reacting, allowing my emotions to rush quicker than my conscious choice to respond?
