What if your body remembered what the mind let go?
“STELLATE EMOTIONS”
Mixed media on canvas (16” x19.7”)
What if emotions never truly vanished— but left behind echoes, patterns, imprints?
What if your body remembered what the mind let go?
Stellate Emotions explores the memory of feeling—
how emotional experiences live on in the nervous system,
and how, through art, they can be gently revisited, witnessed, and honoured.
The painting begins with a foundation of wax—a symbolic nervous system.
Wax remembers. It holds pressure, breaks softly, responds to rhythm.
Like our bodies, it holds what was once felt.
Layered atop are rhythmic marks, emotional contours, and colour fields—
a vertical composition that suggests a rising, a surfacing of what was once submerged.
Colour as Emotional Memory:
Green — a trace of calm, the body’s memory of peace
Blue — deep presence, the soul’s witnessing awareness
Yellow — overstimulation, the alert system still switched on
Red — the emotional rupture that cuts through, remembered vividly
White orbs — Soul Light. Representing grace, spiritual presence, and the quiet return to wholeness. They do not erase emotion; they accompany it.
This piece holds the layered feeling of being human: moments of calm, intensity, reflection and the sacred.
