Some things can’t be touched or named, yet we feel them in every breath.

Metaphysics explores what lies beyond the physical, the invisible threads that weave memory, emotion, and energy into form. The figure in this piece begins to dissolve into lines and color, blurring the boundaries between flesh and spirit, presence and absence.

In the image, I’m propped up by a chair- a grounding, physical object while my body and self dissolve into the painting itself. The blue vein-like marks were created by pressing my skin against the canvas, leaving an imprint that bridges two worlds. A trace of the body becomes something more: a conversation between seen and unseen, matter and energy.

My art has always been wrapped up in the metaphysical. I’m guided by forces I can’t fully comprehend, yet they move through me all the same. Just because we can’t see or measure something doesn’t mean it isn’t real. Some truths live in the spaces between.  In intuition, in creation, in the unseen gestures that leave their mark long after we’ve moved on.

What lies beyond what we can see? Perhaps, everything.

Each reflection in The Abstract Self is part of a larger dialogue between art, philosophy, and the body. The full collection lives on XRPL through XRP Café, where each collected piece unlocks deeper layers of these writings and additional rewards, like $SXRP. This project bridges sensuality, thought, and blockchain, an exploration of art as both expression and connection.
