This piece honors our wise elders - those who have lived through many decades of experience, learned many things and witnessed changes unimaginable to the young.
Our elders are essential for collecting and passing on knowledge, history, skills and ideas to the following generations.
I wanted to create an image that expresses age as something beautiful and valuable - capturing the far-seeing perspective that can only come with decades of experience; failures and successes, tragedies and joys, hardships and times of plenty, deaths and births and the witnessing of our world’s evolution.
If we live mindfully, each of those experiences can make us stronger and wiser so that we can teach our descendants to be wise as well.
