Expanding on my studies of global culture and ceremony, this work bridges my Chicano heritage with Thai, Peruvian, Bolivian, Mongolian, Egyptian, Taiwanese, and Indonesian civilization and mythology. Building bridges, making connections and connecting the threads that unite the world’s people.

To advance with a smile is an intelligent approach. In excess even a simple gesture can confuse. Wise to the world, a furrowed brow will confirm the knowledge in the eyes.

Skill comes with work and perseverance. The large beard is evidence of time passing. A wise man said… a moldable mind listened. Spring is fraught with fresh perspectives.

Draped in armor and moving forward, the sword will not pierce the spirit. An earnest pause can energize the heart and strengthen resolve. A subsequent withdrawal is a crusade for the mindful.

Standing on solid ground the loyal subject stares towards the west. Royalty is handed down and accepted with open arms. Wide-eyed and stoic, ready to face what’s yet to come.

Placed in the midst of conflict, facial expressions can win wars. Behind the marquee the strings pull into action. A strong partner can spin the threads that hold the rug together.

A quiet disposition can conceal most true intentions. The brightest palette holds the colors that illustrate inception. Youth and optimism are partners in dance.

Committed to justice the beam sways in one direction. Strength is in the gaze but the charm’s not far behind. Absorbed in the surroundings, a chameleon with charisma.

Coated in earthy tones begins the move inland. Ascending towards the highest peak the view becomes much greater. Once perched upon the apex the climb comes to a halt. There is only one escape.
