Description:
Created during Chapter 2 (2020 - 2023), this piece is part of the Versions of Robert Collection—a deeply personal body of work reflecting my journey through my mother’s stroke, dissociation, and eventual dementia. This period of my life involved immense inner soul work, each piece acting as a page in a diary, accompanied by a poem or story.
“Echos” is about the resonance of thoughts, the way ideas reflect and multiply, shaping the world we see and the world we create. It explores the duality of perception—how we see ourselves, how we see others, and how those perceptions shape reality.
The delicate brushwork suggests an unfolding conversation, as whispers of the past and present merge. The soft tonal variations and abstract layering reflect movement, introspection, and the search for understanding.
This piece invites the viewer to question:
• What do we seek when we look at the world?
• How do we listen—to ourselves, to each other, to the unseen?
• What will we give up to move forward?

Echos
The show of reflections
..
What will we see
What will we seek
Let’s show the world
..
How will we pass through
How will we be guided
How will we guide
Let’s tell the world
..
What will we need
What will we speak
What truths will we find
Let’s not divide the world
..
What possibilities will we create
What dreams will we share
What will we continue
Let’s love the world
..
What will we give up
How will we let go
How will we see our pride
Let’s free the world of our ego
..
Remember
I am not right
You are not right
Let’s explore our world
..
Touch my soul
Feel your soul
We are soul
Let’s be tomorrow’s world
