“You don’t chase awakening; you wake to what’s always been.”

Awakening isn’t something to reach. It isn’t found in effort, discipline, or distance. It’s a return—a remembering of what’s always been true beneath the noise of becoming.

So much of life is spent searching: for meaning, for purpose, for something beyond the present moment. But awakening isn’t at the end of that search. It begins the moment you stop running and simply see. The truth was never hidden; it was only overlooked.

When the mind softens and the heart opens, reality feels different—not because it has changed, but because you have. You begin to recognize the stillness that was always here, the quiet thread of awareness that runs through everything.

The artwork reflects this moment of remembrance where illusion fades, and what remains is the simple, eternal presence that has been waiting for you to notice it.
