All living things are filled with a vital life force. In Thai culture it is called the 'lom pran' meaning ‘the wind of life.’ In the Hindu tradition it is called ‘prana’. In Hawaiian culture it is known as ‘mana’. Chinese tradition refers to it as 'chi'. It is the invisible energy that all living things are kept alive with, and that connects all things in the universe as one.
It is expressed in the ways that we live our life each day. Through our relationships, our passions, our work, our play. It is in the very way in which we go about living.
This life force is ever-expanding, ever Rising. It is our life force which calls us to do better, to shine brighter, to be all that we can be...and more. Our internal desire to grow, improve and evolve is our life force leading us to be a fuller expression of ourselves.
‘Rising’ is a celebration of this inner life force. I hope this artwork inspires you to follow your life force, Rising more and more into your fullest + brightest potential.
