FEATHERED ORACLE
These shots weren't planned. They've just happened. The costume felt right, the rocks felt ancient, and something clicked. Sometimes you need feathers and limestone to remember who you really are underneath all the noise. The canyon made me quiet, then loud, then playful, then mysterious. All in the span of twenty minutes. That's what happens when you stop trying to look like something and start being something instead.
Feathers. Stone. Silence. Three moments when the costume became real and the performance became truth. The "shh" gesture is perfectly framed, creating an intimate connection between you and me.
What happens when you dress like your dreams and climb into a canyon? You stop performing and start being. With this pose, I radiate freedom and connection with the natural world. The rocky landscape becomes a stage for celebration.
Artist's note:
In these limestone chambers carved by millennia, I found myself both dwarfed by time and empowered by presence. Each pose was a conversation with the stones - sometimes reverent, sometimes playful, always honest. The headdress became my crown and my wings, transforming me into both warrior and sprite. These images remind us that we are both temporary visitors and eternal participants in nature's ongoing sculpture.
