“contemplation: Cocoon”…

…was inspired by those capsules of metamorphosis: coverings that offer protection and a sense of safety while radical change is occurring; compaction followed by expansion; transformation that erupts into new potential; the known versus the unknown; darkness leading to light; gestation and birth. Cocoons are symbols of the deep, silent miracle of consciousness and of the impermanence and change of physical existence. Metamorphosis can be viewed as intrapersonal and interpersonal phenomenon: Who I am at this moment is not who I can/will be in the next moment; The choices we make today may be different from the ones we make tomorrow. Every moment can be a hope-filled birthing… an intentional transformation.
