Harmony in Being Part III
Harmony in Being stems from the idea that motion, movement, and physical practices have the power to soothe the mind. For me, this takes the form of printmaking. I've found that printmaking has become a meditative practice within my artistic craft.

Project Intention
I have created a one-minute monoprinted animation that visualizes Balinese Hindu practices, drawing visual inspiration from their offerings. Creating offerings is a significant part of Balinese culture and has served as a grounding meditative practice in my own life due to its repetitive movements. As the saying goes, "An offering is foremost a gift," and presenting this animation feels like my own offering piece, a gift to whoever chooses to watch.
