“MAY THE SUN BRING YOU
NEW ENERGY BY DAY,
MAY THE MOON SOFTLY RESTORE YOU BY NIGHT,
MAY THE RAIN
WASH AWAY YOUR WORRIES,
MAY THE BREEZE
BLOW NEW STRENGTH INTO YOUR BEING,
MAY YOU WALK
GENTLY THROUGH THE WORLD
AND KNOW IT’S BEAUTY
ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE.”
— APACHE BLESSING
Inspired by an Apache Blessing, BLESSED is a personal documentation of the lake Chiemsee in Bavaria. Using the visual narratives, found in the landscape of the lake, I explore the circle of life. In its mediation of shadows and light, density and vacuity of the lake, I explore the transition and change of the journey in life.
BLESSED invites the viewer to sense strength, weakness, struggle, self-confidence, vulnerability, and growth to find balance and peace.
