13 MOON PAINTINGS

For one lunar year, Marisa’s vagina and gravity were her paintbrush in this personal yet universal exploration. She practiced free-bleeding onto large sheets of circular paper for 13 continuous months as personal exploration for healing and understanding. Each painting is accompanied with a reflecting poem, influenced by her emotional and philosophical state.

COMING INTO BEING

i only seem to live 
when i offer myself
to become

I AM

the beauty of perception 
is that we can change it
a small bending of light alters 
our entire perspective of reality

WALKING THROUGH TIME

but why am i
here, walking through time?
what is the purpose of dying
during the act of every living breath?

FAMILY WITHIN

we carry the same waters

MOTHERSHIP

the invisible moon 
hangs in the sky effortlessly 
how do i approach this fear
with curiosity?

AS LOVE TURNS

what if i would name
emptiness ‘Love’?
would i melt
into the heart of creation?

my own nature
i breathe my mind full 
with emptiness
