Hope-Regen

Hope-Regen takes inspiration from meditations on the natural elements within our bodies: water, fire, air, & earth. Our bodies are mostly water, and so water symbolizes here fluidity and cohesion- blood nourishing the body and connecting us to ourselves while allowing for change, flexibility, fluidity. Fire represents temperature in the body and the energy, the fire, that drives us to transform, grow, & burn. Air, the most essential to life, embodies movement and breath, connecting our body and mind as our lungs push & pull.

Cumulonimbus clouds begin as rising water vapor condenses, forming towering structures of beautiful shapes and immersive landscapes miles above. These clouds can bring thunder, lightning, snow, sleet, hail, & rain. In raining, the water that has risen to tower high above returns to Earth, which represents stability, groundedness, & strength. I too am filled with water, rising into the sky, breathing, and transforming- knowing that at some point, there must be a release, but when in storm, falling, or resting I am still the same water that lines our planet, erodes for the new, and nourishes all life.
