Shell’s Holly altar

Shell’s Holly altar, oil on canvas, 101.0 x 101.0cm, 2022

Though flame I vow:

To pray for everything newly born, hope, abundance and love.

To truly embrace humans and protect faith in virtue.

To develop a sense of altruism by expanding a vessel of the soul through endurance of pains and hardship  

To burn with the spirit running throughout a body instead of blood and never let it be frozen. 

To open a gill out of a balance between hope and fear. 

To be born new always.

To go beyond the limit.

And I entirely devote myself.
