“Spirit Totem Trio” emerged through guidance rather than design. In meditation, I saw three columns of living light — radiant, breathing energies that revealed themselves as Spirit, Serenity, and Balance. These forms asked to be made manifest, each with its own rhythm, hue, and proportion. I became the instrument, following the quiet direction of my spiritual guides who dictated the order, length, and color of every segment of glass.

The center totem, the tallest, embodies Spirit — the ascending force that links the seen and unseen worlds. The two companion totems stand beside it in gentle harmony, grounding the composition in calm reflection. Their glowing surfaces merge deep, saturated tones with passages of transparency where the pure argon within shimmers in an ethereal mist of blue-green light — the breath of the unseen made visible.

This work is both offering and presence — a meditative constellation of illumination. It invites stillness, balance, and a return to the center of one’s own energy. “Spirit Totem Trio” is a prayer in form and light, a reminder that peace is not sought — it is remembered.
