This exhibit features a series of photographs by Malia Rae, printed on metal, with all containing the motif of a heart found in nature.
Artist Statement: It began with the concept “What you look for in life you find.” I went to Mother Nature to soothe my soul. She responded with an abundance of Love – manifesting in the symbolic shape of a heart. With camera as my witness, I have been documenting the evidence of my many findings on this journey. Mother Nature has given me the greatest gifts I never would have thought to ask for. With these hearts She has taught me about transformation; turning betrayal into trust, heartbreak into love, confusion into clarity, and pain into purpose. Maybe this is true alchemy? I am beginning to think the universal elixir is love, and love is gold.
I continue to return to nature as a ritual of remembering to return to Love. This has become a practice of exploration and discovery, awakening to a new landscape of possibility. My passion in art, and life, is to connect with other hearts and share Love that uplifts and inspires as we awaken within.
