Guardians: The Ritual Mixed Media Artwork

The Ritual is part of the Guardians series, a body of work that explores devotion, protection, and the quiet labor of hope.

Beneath a full moon, two Guardians stand at the edge of a sacred clearing. They face the water together, mirroring one another, holding space for what is about to be received. The forest watches. The night listens.

With each full moon, the Guardians are entrusted with a new wish — offered not through words, but through intention. These wishes are not granted lightly. They are carried, tended, and fulfilled through ritual, patience, and care.

The figures are both solemn and tender, suggesting that responsibility and love are inseparable. Their presence speaks to the unseen work we do for one another, the promises we keep in quiet ways, and the cycles that return again and again, asking us to show up.

The Ritual is a meditation on trust, repetition, and the sacred act of holding another’s hope.
