Familiars & Messengers
They are totemic beings.
Sometimes they lead to a new path. Sometimes they linger, waiting to be understood.
This collection is for the ones who move between. Between worlds, between selves, between what we know and what we need.
Memory Flight
They rise from the branches like thoughts half-formed - silent, dark, weightless.
The sky holds them, but it doesn’t remember their names.
Memory Flight is a meditation on intuition, memory, and ancestral presence. Two ravens soar through a muted dreamscape of fog, dusk, and color-washed stillness. Their forms are stark against a blurred world, as if carrying stories too sacred to speak aloud.
This piece honors the quiet instinct that guides us and the sense that we are never truly alone.

The Watcher Below
Nestled within ribbons of seaweed and shifting light, a red octopus lingers at the ocean floor. He is neither hidden nor revealed, but part of the silence between.
His curling limbs hold stories of deep currents and shadowed passageways, as if he remembers more than one lifetime beneath the tide.
The Watcher Below is an ancient familiar drawn from the depths, where inhabitants do not speak in words but in stillness, shimmer, and motion. With hues of rust and ember against cool water and kelp, he reminds us to notice the unseen and listen beyond the surface.
