![]() ![]() Even when my practice and understanding has wavoured and shifted, my constant dialogue and relationship has never really changed with my God. My faith has remained an integral part of my young life with having gone to religious schools during two of my most important formative periods so far. ![]() I grew up going to a Catholic primary school then transitioned to a predominantly Muslim secondary school with a Christian non-practicing family behind me. ![]() Religion and spirituality have been in and around my life since I was born like a lot of people. I feel like this is the same with our skills, our opinions, our individual capabilities and quirks. The stars are these gorgeous globes of brilliance that light up the space around us and even when they have burned their last light their enchanting presence still lingers in our sky, millions of light years away. The Sun is the ultimate life giver, it’s the centre of our universe and despite being a symbol of all good and omnipotence, its power is overwhelmingly unassailable. It may take its shine from the Sun but it has its own radiance and influence, without the Moon so many things fall apart and I connected with that more and more over time. The Moon is my protection, my comfort in the dark and has always been there to listen to my woes and calm my fears. I have always had an affinity with the Moon, a fascination and admiration from childhood. The idea is that I am just as strong, just as beautiful and awe inspiring as the celestial beings that rule us. Originally the title was “I am my own Sun, I am my own Moon and my love and light, powers and talents are the stars that look back at me” but somehow this mouthful remained a working title only. “I am my own Sun, Moon and Stars” is a body of work stemming from a dream that inspired me so much that I had to write it down at 1:40am. ![]()
