After tells of life waking up after the storm. With cool mist in the air, awakened by the calm in the atmosphere. Everything is serene, activated by this brand new start. The sun is starting to reappear; life forms emerge from their hiding places, soaking in the moisture that is in the air. After tells the story of abstracted life forms, forces coming out and using their voice as they are interacting and co-existing with each other. This painting speaks to giving these life forms the ability to live free, recharge and connect with the forces of this planet. When we connect with nature, we are able to connect with ourselves. Life is a gift, and it is important that we make the most of it everyday. That we make our decisions wisely, that we realize what impact we make with each action that we take. We have had the privilege to grow up in this beautiful world. It’s up to us to decide; are we going to help it or hurt it. Are we going to contribute or are we going to take?
