Artist Statement: It’s interesting to note that throughout history, the divine feminine attribute has been symbolized by water. Water is an element associated with healing, purity, calmness, life, creation and creativity -all being divinely feminine traits.

The scholar Margaret Barker makes an intriguing connection between water, and the veil of separation between Heaven & earth. In ancient Jewish temples the veil was woven of 4 colors, signifying each of the four elements. She describes how these elements are what veil us from our Heavenly Parents.

Dr. Emoto, a Japanese scientist, has conducted a series of experiments observing the substantial effect that intention alone has on the structure of water.

WHAT IF the veil, instead of a wall keeping us from mother, can actually become a passage TO her?

Looking at the veil, (anciently & symbolically) being comprised of water, I believe that through our intention, we have the ability to do as Dr. Emoto suggests & actually thin or alter it.
President Monson said, “May we remember always…that the veil may become very thin between this world and the spirit world.”
I believe that it is through pure intention this is possible. We can quite literally come to her & the veil may “become very thin”.
Perhaps the veil can fluctuate like the water within this scientific study- depending on the expression of our soul, we create our own veil in harmony with our heart. We can create crystallized clarity or a thick, veil of dissonance if our intentions are not grounded in truth.

In Dr. Emoto’s studies with water, the intention of love & gratitude made the most beautiful, crystalline clarity.
Likewise, the more pure our heart, the more powerfully we reorganize the crystalline structure of the veil.

We ourselves are made of mostly water, inherently tied to both the veil & Divine feminine. Centering our intention in truth, we find her force a familiar one –manifest in each of us.

“In her waters, deep and true
Lie the answers and a path for you.”
