My intent with each mosaic I create is to tell a story. This particular story describes the path we carve for ourselves on our journey through life. We pass from the innocence of childhood into our turbulent teens; we mature from adulthood into old age where we hope to make the best of our “golden years”. We each carve our own path based on the decisions we make and the directions we choose, so every path tells its own story.

​

Our path is red - the colour of life, passion, energy, danger - in smooth and jagged materials that represent the joys and challenges we face as we go through life. 

White - the colour of peace, purity, and innocence - embraces our path. 
At the bottom, the beginning of our path, the white is interwoven with bright yellows, greens, blues, and pinks – the colours of childhood, hope, and happiness. 

Moving up as we mature, bright colours merge into grays – the colour of adulthood, security, reliability, and intelligence. 

Moving further up and getting closer to the end of our path, the grays darken into black - the colour of power, maturity, old age, and mortality. 
And the gold smalti? Well, those are our golden years!
