METAMORPHOSIS

In a galaxy of worlds, of individuals numerous and unique, our thoughts spin threads in a variety of colours that ripple out, spreading their effects. The thread balls stand like isolated individuals connected nonetheless in colour spheres/centres.

Our thoughts and actions take form. They weave with appropriate threads, the world we live in, the experiences we have. Ever steadily weaves the great loom of creation whatever we put into it of our own accord.
In an endless cycle, every deed is linked to us. Thus, we influence reality. We can weave a harmonious world if we wish it.

It means much that my works make one pause, take a deeper look, feel, and reflect.

This art piece depicts the inner life and efforts of an African who strives to pull himself out of hindering influences and the dark threads he had
spun in the past. The conscious and deliberate attempts at selecting the things he feeds his inner being: from the books he reads to the things
and people he listens to, yields brighter and brighter clusters of fruits which spill out their contents as experiences for him to enjoy.

The sun sets on the unpleasant past, and redemptive threads of brighter hues gradually take over. On the canvas of his life, much brighter and beautiful threads are woven.

Reflect: How prosperous, beautiful, and great will Africa grow to be, should every African work on himself so?

Consider: what will the fate of the world become, should every man strive what is positive, good, noble, and pleasing to God?

Every thought we think creates threads of varying colours, depending on the nature of the thought. Every thread, every connection is imbued with energy, which yields fruit (experiences) and flows ceaselessly as long as these connections are consistently fed. They go on to form waves and molehills or mountains of experiences.

It is impossible to keep static the threads of our thoughts and deeds. They take on life, connect with similar threads and flow.
