Temporary Discomforts

Temporary Discomforts

Lightning strikes
the incubator
conferring warmth and courage
as I release what
no longer serves me.

Illumination and growth
chases the chaos and darkness
to transform the layers of murk
into light.
-Holli May Thomas


Mixed media tree that reaches outside the shape of an egg or incubator to tell a story through painted papers and reflective materials. A story of survival. If you look closely, you will find the words chaos and darkness being left behind on the wings of a bird flying upon metamorphosis at the bottom.
