Artworks made with your heart

Totems are created by the input of a human heart. The heart rhythm is unique for every person and yet continuously changing. In this movement it reflects our state of being and the transitions in our inner landscape. A Totem is a symbolic object that marks something of great importance to you. This can be a transition to a new phase in your life, or it can symbolize your connection to a loved one. It can also be an object you want to leave behind and pass on to your kin.

Symbols of Change

Totems are symbols of change, they can help consciously transition from one phase to another. Like a photograph of your inner world, the intricate pattern of this drawing made with your heart captures a specific moment in your life. Therefore you can approach the ritual of creating this artwork as a rite of passage. This ritual honours the movement of life and the changes within us with with reverence and attention. Embracing changes within ourselves as essential parts of the natural movement and rhythms. Coming home into our unfolding life.
