Our Minds Create Our Reality is a series of ceramic sculptures highlighting the inseparable link between personal well-being and the health of our planet. Drawing from pre-Columbian traditions, the works address contemporary issues such as climate change and mental health.
My personal experience with mental health, shaped by life in a capitalist, post-colonial society, deeply influences this series. The sculptures emphasize how our mental state is closely tied to the environment. When we care for ourselves and our communities, we foster a healthier relationship with the Earth. Conversely, disconnection from nature results in suffering for both individuals and the planet.
Inspired by Indigenous Colombian beliefs that ancient ceramics served as symbols of balance, the pieces encourage reflection on our interconnectedness with nature. They suggest that just as inner discord can manifest externally, healing ourselves can contribute to restoring environmental harmony. Ultimately, this exhibition seeks to inspire personal transformation, showing that by nurturing ourselves, we contribute to the collective goal of building a more harmonious world.
