Artwork Description and Symbolism

Spring arrives not as a date on a calendar, but as a lived realization—the moment you remember that you are conscious awareness, actively participating in your own becoming. I Am Spring – I Am Conscious Awareness Having This Experience captures that awakening through an intimate, exuberant bloom: a single flower rendered in rich, velvety purples, radiating outward from a luminous white center alive with delicate stamens. Set against a dynamic field of fiery reds, golden yellows, and layered color bursts, the composition feels as though life itself is surging forward—an embodiment of renewal, perception, and presence. The flower does not merely bloom; it declares itself, mirroring the moment awareness recognizes itself within the experience of living.

As the first of four seasonal works, this piece introduces Spring as a psychological archetype: the return of vitality, curiosity, and possibility after dormancy. The warm reds carry the heat of emergence—creative energy, desire, momentum—while the cool purples suggest depth, intuition, and inner knowing. Tiny yellow blossoms flicker throughout like small breakthroughs: moments of optimism, insight, and gratitude that appear when you’re finally willing to look closely. In the broader context of The Desert Abstraction Project, the Sonoran environment becomes a spiritual mirror—reminding us that the outer world can reflect an inner awakening, and that renewal isn’t something we wait for; it’s something we practice.

The intense layering and contrast give the work its living tension: softness against fire, delicacy against intensity, stillness within motion. That is Spring in human terms—when new growth pushes through the residue of old narratives, and the psyche begins to reorganize around hope, clarity, and forward movement. This artwork invites the viewer to experience that shift directly, not as a concept but as a felt reality: the sense that life is opening again, and so are you.

As the first work in the seasonal sequence, I Am Spring – I Am Conscious Awareness Having This Experience stands as an invitation rather than a conclusion. It asks you not simply to admire beauty, but to recognize yourself within it—to remember that awareness is not separate from the moment, the color, or the breath witnessing it. Bringing this piece into your space is like anchoring a perpetual springtime of the mind: a daily reminder that renewal is always available, and that consciousness itself is the true subject of the artwork. This is not just a visual statement—it is a presence, one that continues unfolding each time you return to it.

Accompanying Inspirational Exercise — “Spring Mind: The Renewal Practice” (3–5 minutes, daily)
Spring, as an inner archetype, is the season of re-entry—returning to your life with fresh perception, renewed energy, and a willingness to begin again. Once a day, stand before the artwork and do this simple practice:

1. Notice Newness (30 seconds): Identify three details you haven’t fully noticed before (a color shift, a petal edge, a tiny yellow bloom). This trains the “Spring mind” of curiosity and openness.

2. Name What’s Emerging (60 seconds): Ask: What is trying to grow in me right now? Write one sentence beginning with “Something new I’m ready for is…”

3. Choose One Seed Action (2 minutes): Pick one small action you can take today that supports that emerging self (send the message, take the walk, start the draft, tidy one space, drink water, rest). Keep it simple and doable.

4. Seal It with Awareness (one breath): Place a hand on your chest and say: “I am aware, and I begin again.”

Practiced consistently, this turns the artwork into a lived ritual—helping you move from autopilot into conscious participation, and letting Spring become more than a season you witness. It becomes a way you live.
