"Intersession" explores the dichotomy of authenticity and facade. The rough ceramic stones symbolize unrefined, challenging moments that shape us - raw experiences often hidden beneath a polished image. In contrast, the smooth tiles represent the curated selves we present, masking inner complexity and revealing the tension between public persona and private reality. Central to this piece, the bonsai tree, rooted in the rough stones, signifies growth from adversity; like a bonsai nurtured in difficulty, we flourish by embracing our true selves. A figured wood element bridges polished and rough, symbolizing divine intercession, critical moments of reflection where we seek guidance. It connects our authentic selves with the world's expectations, urging deeper engagement with strengths and vulnerabilities. Reflecting my journey through alcoholism, I invite viewers to consider their own balance between vulnerability and acceptance, recognizing that growth is often born from life's rawest moments.
