ARTIST STATEMENT :
" I am on a mission to raise the vibrational frequency of the collective in support of the transformations that must take place to shift the paradigm of our current realities . We are natural beings of the natural world . Colonization and capitalism have engrained in us various stories that do not belong in our bodies . My work is the work of my ancestors and is dedicated to uncovering natural truths and rhythms in all that we are as beautiful beings of the Earth , moon and stars ." ~ Ecko Aleck
