The Space Between Us

The Space Between Us explores identity, separation, and interconnectedness. It highlights the Trinity formed at the moment of creation and the perceived duality that we experience as humans during our lives. It shows that all things were made from God, connected and can be traced back through ancestors and cultures through time back to the source of all that is divine. However, it encourages a direct relationship with the source through meditation and individuation of acknowledging our shadows and those of the worlds and part of the one.
The first work considers culture—the stories, traditions, beliefs, religions, nations, and identities through which we learn to understand ourselves and one another. These identities can provide meaning and belonging, while also creating boundaries between “us” and “them.” It shows there are many paths to the same destination, but also asks the viewer to understand how the identity we were given at birth and through our upbringing isn't who we truly are, yet we defend that identity often to our own demise.
The Other Side of Fear turns inward. It considers the parts of ourselves we fear, reject, or project onto others—the shadow—and asks what becomes possible when we confront rather than deny them.
The final work expands outward toward creation and interconnectedness. Individual forms remain distinct, yet emerge from and participate in something larger. Here, duality is presented not as an error, but as part of human experience: the perception of separation within an interconnected whole.
Together, the works do not propose a single path or final truth. They offer a question: How much of the space between us is inherent—and how much have we created? The truth lies in the connections.
