A texture collective, Anima Lux (soul light) was also formed to "shape" the feeling of the subject multi-directionally, even beyond the second dimension. I am attracted to the pairing of blues and browns (water and earth) as well as trees and ships. This ship is made of trees – it just uses the element of water differently. I parallel this connection to the first law of thermodynamics: being that energy is neither created nor destroyed but only changes form. I personally believe our core consciousness (soul) is a form-changing (or even shape-shifting) energy. I like to think that once we "shuffle off this mortal coil", we'll navigate ethereal oceans in a new and quite different Age of Discovery.

"If my ship sails from sight, it doesn't mean my journey ends, it simply means the river bends.”
-- J. Enoch Powell

“Sail forth - steer for the deep waters only. Reckless O Soul, exploring.
I with thee and thou with me. For we are bound where mariner has not yet dared to go.
And we will risk the ship, ourselves, and all.”
-- Walt Whitman
