Around The Campfire

This piece is soaked in subtle symbology, and came from a feeling of gentleness and gratitude, that followed a meditation retreat, where I came to a new appreciation of the ritual of gathering around a campfire to commune and exchange ideas and energy with other human beings. I came to a closer understanding of the importance of community and maintaining a balance of both masculine and feminine energy within a space.
