Untie me, daddy. Xo. - Written in my journal: May 29th, 2020 “Love is chaos. Sex is order. To have both is to understand control. - Creativity is the ability to express insanity rather than allowing it to oppress you.” - ✨🌹🙏💋 - #prismatic #selfrealization #love #order #chaos #control #illusion #maya (at Grandville, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBybjk5D4cu/?igshid=6d7j436rdxb4

In my mourning, I have been confused and in a lot of heartache about the passing of Seth Patrick, and have expressed a lot of my personal feelings towards him that aren't a representation of the root of our bond. I want to clarify: Seth and I had a bond in which the main focus was our creative fire. That was first, ALWAYS. As artists, we stayed on our own paths and out of each others' lanes. I offered my home to Seth to build a music studio and area to create, as my circumstances of inheritance are a gift that I have always wanted to share with other artists. I come from a family of creators, and am a very disciplined artist- just like himself. Our goals aligned in creating a creative family of artists, and prior to meeting Seth, I was already working on building a music studio. The synchronicity was obvious in our vision, and that is how he came to live with me. In our conversations, we discussed our own personal destiny's as creators, and that is how our paths crossed. I express the love that I do, in mourning, because of my own emotional state, and I understand where that is deceptive from the truth. No doubt, we did have romantic feelings that were bubbling in the background that were discussed, but our relationship was not as romantic partners- it was as co-creators, collaborators, leaders, light workers, and visionaries. I am just as shocked as the rest of those who mourn Seth on what happened in his passing, and I express my love for him to put out into the universe hoping that he can feel that as a way of grieving. I DO feel robbed of my fellow co-creator, firstly, and what possible romance could have happened that we both saw in the future. I hope that this can bring light to those who do not know me , and am sending prayers for Seth and all those who know them that we will find what happened in the illogical circumstances of his death. Love & light to all of you. https://www.instagram.com/p/CBlfRCWjYtt/?igshid=3hq1cptx81s6

Thought of the day: “Silence and defiance are only oppressive when they are rooted from the ego. Expression is the balance between the two.” Agree or disagree?

The infinite palette of the creator, is one I see in other true artists. I’ve found mine, and have been inspired. My journey brings me to becoming the inspirer through the muse. I am excited for what’s to come. 🎨✨🎶🎧 #create #refineyourcraft #phoenix #music #art #aspiretoinspire #nevergiveup #survivor #trueartists #illuminate #jesrai (at Grandville, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBUHjzzjMJu/?igshid=1crf7216u911p

I’ve been creating everyday. I’ve been thinking about the world and what I can do to change it rather than avoiding the hard truth. I’ve been pouring my soul into meditating on peace, and that truth is chaos. My message: Stop running from the truth. Maybe, you’re not, but all I know is that most of the world is. #art #chaos #anarchy #love #peace #change #propaganda #bitethehandthatfeedsyou #punk #expressyourself #wakeup #jesrai #dripart #montanaspraypaint Change means embracing chaos. The oppression isn’t going to solve itself. (at Grandville, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_f-B2GD1qy/?igshid=1wnw0aq6g8mez

I managed to capture some emotive shots using a bit of #lightpainting 🎨 I’m really loving how these turned out. #photography #rose #iridescence #prismatic #flowers #lightpaintingphotography #analogtechnique #noediting #organic #reflections #canon #photoart #artphotography (at Grandville, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_QrOvOjwC6/?igshid=lnj1c58wsclw
