Taken in a place with no name (See more photos or videos here)

The piece illustrates a dream I had of my soul (literally represented as an
osprey in my dream) entangled by a kite string as the kite had been drifting
along. In the dream, I had the task of untangling the osprey. The dream
represented two things to me: 1st) the idea that we don't always
knowingly choose a path that will entangle us, so we should be
gentler with ourselves (much like a sea turtle unknowingly swims
into a net) and 2) we cannot solve problems with
the same mind that created them (which
is paraphrased from a quote by Einstein).

I used an image of myself which was taken
as a pinhole photograph just before
my life took a dramatic shift - (for those
who are familiar with the gulf coast, this
image was taken in the dunes between
Navarre Beach & Pensacola Beach 3 weeks
before Hurricanes Ivan and then Dennis
wiped out not only the dunes, but the Navarre
Beach road as well as uprooted homes, businesses
and lives) the spiral represents a mandala, used as
a focus in meditation to untangle the mind.
