Inspiration

Welcome to a quiet corner of The Space Between — a place to pause, breathe, and gather what nourishes the inner life. Here I’ve collected words, ideas, and reflections that illuminate the thresholds we move through as artists, as humans, and as beings continually becoming. Think of this space as a small sanctuary: part journal, part gallery wall, part whispered reminder that growth often begins in silent.

The Space Between

There is a place
that isn’t quite before
and isn’t yet after—
a quiet seam
where time loosens
and the mind remembers
how to breathe.

Here, nothing asks to be finished.
Here, even the unformed
has its own kind of beauty.

This is where stories pause
before choosing their direction,
where color waits on the palette,
where a single tessera rests
in the palm
before it finds
its belonging.

In this space,
we soften.
We listen.
We let the next shape
introduce itself
without rushing its arrival.

Transformation rarely shouts.
It moves the way light shifts
across a studio wall—
inch by inch,
soft as a whisper,
steady as a pulse.

And when the moment comes
for what’s next to begin,
we’ll recognize it
not because we forced it
but because we stayed long enough
to hear it call our name.
