RAflections
2015 - 2020
Love is Light is All is One
untitled - July 29, 2015
Inspired by affect/effect, reflection, and Lacan's mirror stage, this project ran seasonally becoming a weekly/monthly ritual for me. It started as an experiment in symmetry, blurring the boundaries of art mediums to create something new entirely. Mirrors were part of some of my sculptures and I felt drawn to new ways of seeing. I wanted to create digital representations of the traditional art that I was making.
.
The title of 'reflections' was immediately updated to 'RAflections' in 2018 after an introduction to The RA Material ie. The Law of One.
"The Law of One [...] may be approximated by stating that all things are one, that there is no polarity, no right or wrong, no disharmony, but only identity. All is one, and that one is love/light, light/love, the infinite Creator."
"Ra" also means "out/exit" in Vietnamese, perhaps an unrelated recent discovery but I feel like it only further supports my choice of nomenclature because RAflections are an outpouring of love in memory of what I have created.
.
RAflections are created from photographs of my artwork, mirrored and edited digitally using smartphone applications. The results are designed to encourage thought processes that look back upon the past, instill the present, and project the future.

please sit back with me, relax, and let your mind do the talking

this project is originally presented on instagram.com/quest.he.art
(where you may see there are some slight variations... I did my best not to use Instagram's editor and to save every image using IFTTT; however, some higher quality productions were lost after reassigning IFTTT to other accounts)
Displayed by artist Dante Durand via projection onto a window at the Venice Art Crawl in California in 2017. Thank you Dante!
