"Be-Flowered" is deeply rooted in the African cultural heritage of a female child. In African culture, it is revered that a young woman should maintain her sexual purity until marriage, which brings immense joy and honor to her family when her husband finds her a virgin on their wedding night. The title "Be-Flowered" is derived from the concept of "Deflower," which signifies taking away a lady's innocence or dispossessing her of her virginity. However, in this painting series, my premise is centered on empowering women and celebrating their pride and inherent power. The first two pieces of the series feature ladies adorned in traditional South African bids worn during the Virgin festival. The gentle pink clouds symbolize feminine power and poise, evoking the strength and grace embodied by women. A community that empowers women tends to uphold higher moral standards than one that does not. My perspective veers away from the idea of gender equality, recognizing its limitations, and instead, I believe in gender equity, providing each gender with the opportunities they need to fulfill their potential. This series aims to leave my audience with a profound appreciation for empowerment and a celebration of cultural heritage. I hope viewers will reflect on the significance of embracing one's roots while acknowledging the strength and beauty that women contribute to society.

Stacy D'Aguiar's (US based) "Hybrid 11" is an acrylic painting that depicts a colorful butterfly and beetle transposed on a teal background. Artist Statement: My paintings are channeled, Visual Dreamscapes in connection with Unseen Frequencies of the Universe. My exploration of the surreal investigates the mysteries of the energy that connects all things, and the mind's potential to heal through imagery. Each piece is infused with Reiki Healing Energy (a universal healing technique) and Sacred Geometry Symbols, which elevates each magical creation energetically, and emits positivity, peace and tranquility. By showcasing alternate realities on diverse elemental canvases, my art is designed to inspire others to see the nature of the world around and within, as well as influence a sacred space for awakening. I offer you a journey through the garden of my Visions and allow the gift of healing to revive the sacred breath of Oneness. {Sacred Geometry} is a term used to describe patterns, shapes and forms that are part of the make up of all living things and that regularly occur in nature. It is system of universal design in which the energy of creation organizes itself into form.
