Kindred Spirit…

|

‘My inner peace is set free by my kindred spirit.’

The cemetery is a place I frequent to find sanctuary and stillness away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This cemetery is unfamiliar to me and represents being at peace somewhere new while my kindred spirit watches over me from the other side. The cat, a stranger to me, symbolises new people in my life.

The stillness of the subject as she stands on the opposite side suggests hesitance and the apprehension that comes with change.

Stairway to Where…?

|

‘I don’t know where I am going but I will get there one step at a time.’

The staircase demonstrates a slow incline upwards towards goals and dreams, taking little steps, one step at a time. a reminder that no matter how many steps back life takes you and no matter how small the effort you take in getting back up again, it all counts as trying and will ultimately help you to keep moving…
