#Spider #Totem, 2014

I have been on #deviantart for 15 years and found great enjoyment in the community there. However, things have changed over the years - the latest being the implementation of AI. #AIhasDestroyedArtPlatforms. I have been reluctant to share new art there. I can no longer find enjoyment in finding new artists there because the majority of new submissions are AI-generated and flooding the system. It has absolutely destroyed the community for me. Anyhoo, I am grateful for discovering #Pixelfed. I decided to transfer my art over before I finally decide to #deleteDeviantArt. I'd also like to give a home to my older work before posting my new and more recent stuff, so bare with me.

This is both a #photomanipulation and #digitalpainting I made back in 2014. Its meant to symbolize the magic of spiders and their divine craftsmanship.

I love the quote: "Weave your creative threads in the dark, and then when the sun hits them, they will glisten with intricate beauty." (Ted Andrews)

This creation was originally inspired by recurring #dreams of spiders which I interpreted as a reminder to restore balance in my hectic lifestyle, to take control and weave my fate, and reacquaint myself with my #creativity once more. Because even in the most stagnant and darkest times, there is room for inspiration and creativity.

An #abandoned #house near our school playground. #SilentSunday
I've been studying in this school for 11 years and this house was still in that place, not demolished yet. We don't know what happened to it, but a classmate told me that it was meant to be a clinic before. I remember a long time ago, my old classmates played some ghostly pranks on the porch of that house which I didn't participate in, thinking it's #haunted.
