“Light Being” is a collection of 101 light edits of a single image of light/shadows on my body. Inspired by generative NFT collections, product of my AI {Authentic Intuition}, photos are named after “light” in different languages.
Deep down inside of each and every one of us, there is a space of luminescent Light and boundless Love. At our core we know that this is who we truly are and we can return home at any moment, communing with the soul in solitude and listening to the whispers of the heart. Beyond good and bad, beyond right and wrong, beyond any seeming separation there is only oneness manifesting itself in myriads of forms. One of them is you, another me, yet another he/she…. Different on the surface, yet the same in essence.
When we move from our center, we are capable of achieving all of our heart’s desires while being in harmony/contributing to the whole. Which Light Being are you most drawn to/speaks your language? Find your truest soul expression and let it shine!
Hello… is it me you’re looking for?? I’ve not been posting here for a while now, for I have found the manifestation of the world I have been creating in my imagination. Where? On NFT Twitter of all places… never ever would have assumed it, but I followed the energy flow and it always knows. I joined the community through a string of synchronicities in August, not knowing anything about anything. It’s my style – diving head first into the unknown, and figuring out the details as I go. Twitter spaces have amazing for making connections with incredible humans and having my art seen/appreciated/collected has been so humbling and exciting!!! So, without further ado, here is my first interview as an NFT artist. Very very grateful to Priyanshu for inviting me as his guest on his wonderful podcast!!!
P.S. Yes, you get to see my face!! And my cats!!!
Henry Miller and Anais Nin were lovers, and if they had a lovechild that would be me, Ava Sol. I find both of their expansive personalities fascinating – so similar, yet unique in their own ways. They expressed what was within them through words, and I have been doing it through self portraits. This collection is a dialogue between Henry’s poetic and mine, his quotes complimenting my images and/or vice versa.
Feminine and masculine meet, harmonize, complete. To get a better feel of Henry, watch his “Bathroom Monologue” on YouTube – how could you not want to be friends with him? 🙂 He was curious about so many things and not afraid to explore them with an open mind. Like Anais – both free souls being themselves.
Enjoy the meeting of my self explorations/portraits (taken anywhere between 2011 and 2021) and his quotes as 1/1 NFTs. Because I have to take him into the future with me, too.
“Sacred Union” is a collection of self portraits with plants that was born on its own, sparked by my inner journey of meeting my true self and a bundle of dried purple flowers. The images were coming through seeking expression and I allowed/translated them into being. My body, a vessel, the plants complementing its shape and form. Camera, tripod, remote, me, no clothes, white wall, nature, love, unity, timelessness, ease, grace, simplicity. Every plant is unique, every image came with its own poem, all barely edited, au naturel.
Enjoy the fruits of this creative flow and the inspired lines that came with them – a result of me sitting with myself, bringing all kinds of random weeds to my apartment, taking photos and embracing/uniting/harmonizing all seeming opposites within.
101 1/1 NFTs
With love, Ava ♥
P.S. You can use the collection as an oracle – see what image draws you and read the poem that goes with it 😉
Fingertips
Tracing outlines
Knowing
Not knowing
All knowing
All we need to know
Is here now.
Time took you away
And brought you back to me
Was it a moment
A minute
A magnitude?
Felt like forever
Feels like forever
Feels like here now.
By your side
In your arms
Lips united
As if for the first time
Inside one heart
Soul lover
Here now
We are.
{don’t stop kissing me}
If you don’t love yourself, you cannot love another. How do you love the Self if you don’t know it? You look within, face it all and accept it… easier said than done, but not impossible. Then something beautiful follows…
I have always had a natural inclination to look inside myself, and when I first discovered Anais Nin’s quotes, I loved her soul right away. So, this happened…
Sometimes you can find yourself in another that speaks your language. When I first read one of Anaïs Nin’s quotes I felt immediate kinship. Books can be a window to the world, but her writing is a wide open door to her soul.
Fascinated by the journey within and the mysteries it hides, Anaïs ventured courageously inward and shared her findings through strings of words. I, on the other hand, have been using self portraits to document my descent into the psyche. It was only natural to put the two together.
“Anais Nin & Ava Sol” is a collection uniting two women who shared the same world in different times. What she said is what I felt and we both expressed the excess. Uniting darkness and light, making sense of the outer through the inner, transcending limitations and dwelling in the depths two souls connected through time and space lonely, yet not alone.
Enjoy the meeting of my photographs and her quotes as 1/1 NFTs on OpenSea. Because I have to take her into the future with me.
Maybe it’s not about getting to the end, but enjoying the journey/dance… Maybe it’s not what you are looking at, but how you are looking at it that matters… Maybe it’s all about how deep you are willing to dive… Maybe the job of an oracle is to confuse you more, so you can learn to trust yourself… Maybe je ne sais quois… Or maybe I know now… Go fish for yourself – you never know what you are going to find… 😉
