First of, thank you to many of you who came out to see this piece at my last solo exhibit at the Greenroom Gallery Hawaii inside Ala Moana Centre on Dec. 14th! It was lovely meeting you and getting to know you all and seeing familiar faces as well!
Now, let’s take a brief moment to talk about the inspiration on this piece, “The Art of Letting Go”
Think of all the things that you hold onto mentally. Things that you know deep inside that you should have moved on from, or you want to move on from. It can be anything. It can be that one time you accidentally dropped a bottle of red wine and it shattered all over your friend’s new carpet. That one time you said the wrong things at the wrong time to the wrong people (if you know me, this happens way too often). That one person that told you you cannot do it. That one time you doubted yourself that you can. That one time someone hurt you, you hurt someone. And that one time they left you of you left them.
The art of letting go is something I have had the hardest time understanding. If something upsets me, oh trust me, I WILL remember that for like, forever. But I was taught that holding on to such negativity was capping my own personal growth and it’s sometimes important to just walk away.
So I am letting go. Thank you for the lessons learned. Thank you for teaching me the importance of setting boundaries. I forgive you. I forgive myself.
I have a strong feeling that year 2020 will bring about some exciting news. I am grateful for all of you for sharing this roller coaster ride with me. Things are about to get pretty wild!
See you in the new year 2020 :)
Kris
