The Ethereal Ascent The air in the room is violently still, creating a heavy pressure. She has long stopped looking at the clock, realising that time here is not a sequence but a weight. The waiting room has fractured; the mundane reality of plastic chairs and linoleum flooring splinters into a jagged, stained-glass fever dream. High-pitched frequencies of burning red and sickly blues vibrate as if hardened walls, echoing the frantic noise of a mind that has run out of distractions. Every sharp edge of colour feels like a spiritual siege, a sensory reminder that her momentum has been forcibly halted. There is no use in pacing. There is no use in resisting the authoritative hand of the "in-between." To survive this stall, she must stop fighting the current and become part of the stagnant water. She looks out, as if just awakened, and does the only thing left to recollect. She breathes. She waits. She waits for the shards to align once more. Be Creative and Innovative wit...

The Waterfall's Whisper: A Sanctuary in the Woods
The forest has always been my escape. The crunch of leaves underfoot, the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees, the songs of birds hidden in the canopy – a symphony of nature that soothes my soul. But one spot, tucked away behind a small waterfall, holds a special kind of magic.
You won't find this sanctuary on any map. It's a hidden gem, reached by a winding trail that knows where you need to go. The further you venture, the thicker the foliage becomes, the cooler and damper the air. It's like stepping into another world, where time slows down and worries fade.
The path opens up to a small clearing, and there it is – the waterfall. It's not a grand, thundering cascade but a gentle curtain of water that shimmers as it falls into a crystal-clear pool. The sound of the water is like a lullaby, a constant rhythm that washes over you and carries away the noise of everyday life.
I've spent countless hours sitting on a moss-covered rock, watching the water dance. It's a place where my thoughts can roam free and ponder life's big questions without the distractions of the modern world. It's a sanctuary for my mind.
There's something about being surrounded by nature that heals the spirit. The forest air feels cleaner, the sunlight seems brighter, and the problems that loom large in my day-to-day existence seem to shrink in comparison to the vastness of the wilderness. It's like a reset button for my soul.
On one of my visits, I wasn't alone. As I rounded a bend in the trail, I came face-to-face with a young man, clearly lost and a little dishevelled. His name was Ethan, and he'd wandered off the main path, drawn by the sound of the waterfall.
We sat by the pool together, not saying much at first. But as the minutes turned into hours, we opened up to each other. We talked about our lives, our dreams, our fears. The waterfall provided a backdrop of tranquillity, a safe space to share our burdens.
That encounter with Ethan taught me something profound. It's not just the physical space that makes this place a sanctuary. It's the connection we can find with others, the shared moments of peace and understanding. It's a reminder that even amid life's chaos, we can find solace in the company of others who seek the same tranquillity.
You don't need a hidden waterfall to find your sanctuary. It could be a quiet corner in your home, a park bench, or a spot on the beach. It's any place where you can disconnect from the world and reconnect with yourself.
A virtual story
As I wander through the serene forest, I am drawn to the hidden sanctuary behind a small waterfall.
The beautiful cascade of water soothes my mind, offering peace amidst my life's chaos.
Here, I reflect on the world's beauty and find solace in the tranquil surroundings.
Unexpectedly, a lost traveller, Ethan, crosses paths with me, and our shared moments bring a new depth to this sanctuary.
Amidst the quiet beauty, we find connection and understanding, reminding me that amidst life's hustle, finding a small space for reflection can bring immense tranquillity and self-discovery.

My Alien Plasma I made two digital artworks, each with a different approach. The first, Alien Plasma Neo, uses advanced digital editing to show a highly detailed energy being. The second, Plasma Alien, is a gestural painting that focuses on raw emotion. My interest in the 'energy being' theme comes from a lifelong curiosity about forces and life forms beyond what we usually see. I find energies and unseen phenomena fascinating because they represent transformation, vitality, and the mystery at the centre of my creativity. I want to explore how to visually convey inner power and life force, using both digital tools and painting techniques. I like experimenting with different tools to change an artwork. Comparing these two pieces shows how my intent shifts, much as a traditional artist might try out new media and methods. Alien Plasma Neo My first piece, Alien Plasma Neo, was all about hyper-definition and symmetry. I wanted to show this being at its highest energy, even down t...
