Part 1 – Blue Ethereals: Water
The first chapter of this series, Blue Ethereals, is grounded in the element of water. Water is fluid, transformative, and essential—capable of both gentle renewal and overwhelming force. This series is a story about returning to the core of ourselves, to the essence we often overlook. It began when a long-standing trauma returned to my body, requiring further surgeries, and prompted a deep inward journey. In this process, I discovered the method of Quantum Healing Hypnotherapy and encountered them: the blue people, my star family. They arrived carrying joy, peace, and a sense of belonging that transcends the borders of our world.
Blue Ethereals are visual portals into this journey. Each figure embodies resilience and spiritual memory, reclaiming the body as a vessel of healing and love. The blue that defines them is both sky and sacred, a universal skin that dissolves divisions of race, gender, and trauma. Blue here symbolizes eternity, spirituality, solace, and the flowing, renewing power of water. Painting these figures has become a practice of transformation, turning trauma into a source of wisdom and agency.
While this series began in blue, the Ethereals continue to evolve dynamically, eventually exploring other colors and facets of the human and cosmic experience. Through these works, the viewer is invited to contemplate a space where the memory of who we truly are becomes medicine for the soul, and where the fluidity of water reflects both the fragility and resilience of life.

Bloom of Memory
Do you remember these bodies? Not human, other, temporally displaced, foreign-close. These are maps of the soul and its wanderings, not maps of the earth. Blue body, not a whole, but a collection.
Blue skin, a sign, a trace of a lost tribe, a sea turned into memory. Color, you say, is meaningless.
Blue skin - a fallacy, a sign of a tribal index. Or a cartographic trace of origin? Do you remember these bodies, not quite human, belonging to a time past? Bodies: pre- and post-human.
Hey, do you remember? Flames, landmarks. End or beginning?
Flames, not fire, signs. Do they burn, are they reborn? Flames creeping over them and between them, marking territory, delineating boundaries of telepathic communication, climbing like ivy, signs of transformation.
Do they burn, or are they reborn in an endless cycle of becoming? Flames, not igneous, but semiotic. Landmarks of earthly sensations, both pleasure and pain. Is it the end, or just the beginning of another journey? Scattered narratives
Tear Catchers, 320x320cm, silk paint, acrylic, gouache, oil, soft pastel on silk
TEAR CATCHERS, Taxonomy of Absence
Unguentarium: a vessel, a form signifying absence silent witnesses to the passage of time
A tear, a distilled essence of loss, trapped within glass walls
Its structure changes depending on the mood during its production
They say tears have various functions, various use
Our whole world, one of its moments contained within each tear relics of joy, the syntax of sorrow
the enduring power of absence. This glass holds the salt of a thousand departures
The body, a vessel, like these ancient bottles, filled with the ghosts of what was
Tears are just a language spoken in the silence between words
Hey, imagine the hands that held these vessels, the eyes that wept into them
The weight of their grief became my weight. Their joy, mine. a tangible presence of those long gone
life in a fragile container, their negative space defines the shape of what is lost
The salt of tears, the sea of the vastness of the space between us
Anatomy of Departure, 251x226cm, acrylic, silk paint, oil paint on silk
Anatomy of Departure, Firefly Rear
That evening, blue slowly leaked from these remembered bodies and their surroundings. They emerged one by one from the violet core, sediment from long-gone tides, a map of a home we never knew.
This body, its wrinkles, its fingerprints, became a map of longing, a river of cobalt returning to the earth's throat. Will I ever find peace? Solace, peace you ask? What is a body, if not a vessel for the unspoken, a rear for the ash we carry?
Firefly, not an insect, but a flicker, a stutter in the dark. Spiritual guides, they lead us with these starlight wounds.
Funny, you say, light from the rear, from hidden corners, from shameful places. As if beauty, to exist, had to be stained, had to carry the mark of humiliation. Like my own light, leaking from the places I bury, from the silence I wear.
Dung, you see, is the best fertilizer. Because it's from rot, from the body's decay, that we bloom. We bloom, not with innocence, but with the remnants of memory and longing for who we once were. We bloom, like fireflies, from the darkness, from the very places we try to forget.

Morphology of Loss and Gain
ON THAT SUMMER MORNING The world congealed into the singular shape of a tear. Whose tear? Someone asked. It is a Tear of universal grief, mine and my ancestors', holding the incomprehensible. A tear of perfect moments.
The world congealed, condensed into a single, solitary drop. This drop was once a vessel of our love. Now condensed into your absence, a symbol of longing for what we once had in that timeline.
You see, I didn't know that all our love could be contained within the single shape of a tear.
A tear, so small, yet monumental in what remains unsaid. To hold this tear, even in my imagination, is to bear the weight of all that I lost and what I gained.

We hold the sky the way a child holds a secret, 300x300cm, silk paint, oil paint, soft pastel on silk
We hold the sky the way a child holds
a secret:
tight, trembling,
holy.
Above us, orbs spin—
joyful, weightless—
carrying the forgotten memories
of galaxies that once
dreamed of us.
And for a moment
we shine—
not alone, but as one.
We fell from the stars, do you remember that rustle?, 242x288cm, silk paint, soft pastel, oil on silk
You are the calm in my storm
The air, a vortex spellbound, rises with breaths, whispers, the unspoken.
A different kind of magic, you know? We fell from the stars, do you remember that rustle?
Water wraps around us, a crown of eight years, wet and silent.
I – a bird, you – a blue avatar, light on your palm

When the Body Remembered It Was a Forest, and Grew Light from Its Wounds, 250x142cm
My heart burns today
My heart burns today,
like fire consuming old wood —
I know that even the oldest pine
lives no longer than a man.
A purple bull breathes the sky,
and I with him,
for today we are one.
Bulls live barely twenty years,
and yet every step resounds
like the beginning of the world.
We have broken from the past,
like a dog, after years of captivity,
learning to run — slowly, uncertain,
yet running still.
The sky binds our breaths together.
I know the sea has lived for millions of years,
and we have only a moment
to learn how to swim within it.
Today we begin again.
And we will begin each day anew,
like the bee returning to its hive,
though its life lasts barely forty days.
