“Sometimes I see her breeze by carrying a yoga mat. I catch a glimpse of her on an escalator. I think that was her trying on clothes at Anthropologie. She passes by too fast for me to recognize which one of her I saw. Sometimes when I see her I say a silent, “thank you” – for creating, walking, and living the winding paths that made me “me.”
This is the last paragraph of an essay that I wrote in 2013 — Bumping Into Ghosts. It was published in The Equals Record.
This concept is the basis of a new ongoing abstract painting collection — Bumping Into Ghosts. My series in progress explores the theme of the many different versions of ourselves that we become in our lifetime. The walls we tear down and rebuild. Layers of lives that we live.
