It takes two flints
To make a fire
The immutable
Yin and Yang.
The dance of duality,
Where everything emerges.

Does a plant dream
Of the forest?
So close to each other,
Yet out of reach
Content among the trees,
Is solitude alone?

The Venus flytrap is one the most wonderful plants in the world - Charles Darwin
The idea of the Venus flytrap started with an interesting family discussion. My husband shared one of his most vivid childhood memories: an encounter with this intriguing plant as a young boy. Like any curious child, he put his finger in the trap and witnessed it snap shut instantly. Our children were astonished, and the discussion spiraled into a flurry of questions: How big was the plant? Did your finger hurt? Did the flower stink?… In short, we were fascinated by this carnivorous plant: a contradictory misfit and an eccentric anomaly in the world of flora. It stands as the evidence of the adaptability and evolutionary nature of living beings.
Venus Flytrap
msolikin
Squeezed between classes,
Defied and refused to conform.
A deadly hunter with a deceptive invite,
Yet vulnerable underfoot.
Relying merely on persistence,
A misfit making its own rules.
Vision 2025
Acrylic on canvas
40 x 40 inches
Our existence is somewhat similar to a tunnel vision. The universe is vast but we can’t view or know its entirety. Our curiosity is like a telescope, leading us to seek out new visions and novel ideas. Hence, we are curious when we see a tunnel, an aperture or a window. Wondering what’s behind it?
Vision
msolikin
There was a soft velvet curtain
With slight creases and gentle folds
Ever drawn to a flicker of light
Pulling it aside to look outside

It always begins with a stir
No one really knows why
Perhaps it starts with a thought
Follows by restlessness
Which becomes intent
Then it surges and dances
It always begins with a stir…

My visit to a champagne cellar inspired this painting of the eternal Mobius strips. The circles represent thousands of horizontally stacked champagne bottles hidden from the outside world. The mystical Mobius strips signify endless energy, the perpetuation of the dream of the founder and the continuation of legacy and tradition.

Are you intrigued by the interconnectedness of life?
While each of us has our own path,
we also encounter and coincide with numerous others
Do you wonder about the entanglement of life?
How each of us affects the others,
depends on another, be there for each other
Can you feel…the flow~?
