Inception
Mearth was born after I was able to sit with pain and process trauma from injustice of this world. Not seen as I am and misunderstood by the people whom I loved, was one of my biggest sufferings.
It was after a painful re-birth , I realized that my surrender to pain was inevitable for my survival. And showing up for me was the only way to move forward in life. It meant complete acceptance of my body's need to rest, sincerely listening to my heart, to my intuition and respecting my unique pace. It also meant letting go of all connections with the material world for a period of time.
Just like a caterpillar that dissolves into a complete mush of DNA before it is transformed into a butterfly, my days were filled with unease and lack of inspiration. But the belief that “everything was happening for me” was the reason that kept me going. I felt connected to a greater power in control and my only job was to surrender.
One day, the clouds parted ways, and there was a subtle flicker of a butterfly. As I felt courage to paint my experience and emotions in a form of a painting using my finger tips, a small part of me was re-discovered. I started painting and drawing with no formal education in arts and with no prior experience.
