"This encouraging painting is a vivid little mantra of mutual worth. I created it as an answer to polarization—a visual salve in chaotic times." ~Bettina When we remember that we’re all fundamentally okay, something shifts. Judgment quiets. Compassion rises. Every time we look at it, we feel a softening. There’s nothing to fix, nothing to change. Just the shared truth: That knowledge. That safety. Sometimes, it’s just what we need. Part of the series "Mantras" Hubby’s broad range of text-based work in the Mantras series shares the use of positive, aspirational verbiage, which aim to uplevel attitudes and behavior. They are both a physical manifestation and a passive sender of experience dependent neuroplasticity, changing neural pathways through positive reinforcement.
