Original oil pastel by C. Peterson (Cre8tive_viking)
My thoughts on this was to incorporate a base elemental tone to finding balance. For me, balance comes from a deeper place than just time, work, family, creativity, self care, etc. It comes from balancing your core beliefs and the foundation that makes you who you are. I chose the elements to represent our mind and mental processes (air), our passions and dreams (fire) our energy that we put into ourselves and the world (water) and our physical bodies (earth). All of those elements needs to be combined with each other to grow and prosper and while we can lean farther into one than others, too much of any can lead to storms or a wasteland. We need all in order to be fulfilled. I used the stars to show where the elements come from and how they make us who we are. Almost every element on earth is the result of a dying star and therefore we are all stardust at our core and all connected.
