Series 111: Founders Collection

Anchor #4: The Inner Balance

Anchor #4 is a visual meditation on stability and presence. This piece features three stacked, stone-like forms of deep Sumi ink. This "stack" represents the intentional effort we make to find our center, one layer at a time.

The ink is infused with pigmented gold, giving the dark forms a subtle, internal shimmer as they catch the light. A tiny, singular gold ember floats just above the peak, symbolizing the spark of awareness that arrives when we finally reach a state of stillness. The scattered ink and gold splatters around the base remind us that the process of finding balance is rarely neat—it is a beautiful, messy, human effort.

The Invitation: Use this anchor as a grounding point when life feels precarious. Rest your eyes on the base "stone" to feel supported, then move your gaze upward to the floating gold dot. Let it remind you that even when the world feels out of alignment, you have the power to stack your moments with intention and find your own steady center.

Shipping & Care

Archival Packaging: To protect the delicate fibers and gold work, this piece will be wrapped with care and shipped in a rigid box mailer.

The Beauty of the Organic: Because I work with natural fibers and papers, slight variations in texture and the organic "deckled" edges of the paper are intentional. These are the marks of the hand and the history of the piece.

All sales final to honor the intentional, one-of-a-kind nature of the work. Each Anchor is a one-of-a-kind companion meant specifically for its new home.
