Equanimity: Finding Calm in Chaos
“Ten-thousand joys and ten-thousand sorrows” is a Buddhist saying acknowledging the dualities of life while guiding us to embrace them. This group of paintings explores that intention. We are quick to welcome joy and to strive for it while resisting the idea that our sorrows come in equal measure. So, as in life, I work to find calm and a feeling of equanimity through layers of chaos and dissonance.
