Behind the curiosity of home as a canvas

I’ve been in enchantment with creating thoughtful dwellings ever since I can remember. My methodology of rearranging my bedroom [and when I could manage moving things around subtely] other rooms, certain corners or shelving arrangments in my childhood home were instinctiual tools that I effortlessely applied on to the canvas of home at least twice a week.

As all houses offer memories revealing so much about the life of its inhabitants. My childhood households memoir contains many different room postures that I’d created unknowingly and ongoingly. Once my parents understood I had no plans to stop moving objects around, there was a shift from asking me why and not quite understanding to a blossoming encouragment to continue a strange-to-them exploration. Soon enough, I was bringing more outside objects inside without thinking twice about it - it seemed appropriate for proper balance.

When contemplations of college arrived, I had my mother’s support see me through my studious days and nights at university for an interior design degree that I found success in, though the success of arranging things had been with me long before prestige on paper. My eagerness for designing spaces kept me in movement from residential interior design projects to designing and styling sets. Film in my twenties struck me the most. It spoke to the storyteller in me as well as the artist. There is inspired beauty and appreciation to authentically lived stories or imagined narratives given the oppurtunity to come alive in replica or in a freshly designed world to be shared in visually moving medium. Set and production design for film is the realm where I excelled in what I’d like to call my early career sequence. In 2014, life itself boldly stepped in with a rather wakefully abrubt call from somewhere before the measure of time — I fell into a second chance at life, or perhaps a first encounter of life’s turning point onto a realization of purpose. I survived a near fatal accident that has since then proven to be powerful evolution onto my entire existence. Though much has changed, a snapshot of my life then and now, could still be expressed as one’s curiousity of home as canvas, except this time, the interior designer within me is more focused on the interior landscape design of body, mind and soul. The interior design of my inner world is the most important work of art I will ever create. The quest of enlightment will spill over into afterlife and other lifetimes of past, present and future - for at this moment - a softend point of power illuminates my path and propels my creative pursuits directly from heart center. I am pleased and honored to celebrate the 10th anniversary that marks a time of complete rebirth after surviving death, soon enough landing here, at the words being read - the seasons to come from here will each embody Sanctuary of one form or another - as I remain to keep home at heart. Thank you for being here.
