DRESS OF VISION

The fourth perception of the Luminous Warrior

The Vision of the Heart that encompasses an all inclusive view inspired by equanimity,equality,selfless kindness, compassion and unconditional Love.

The eye of the Heart opens to reveal and illuminate one’s authentic path and its power. One of the intentions behind creating this dress was to discern my own gender facets. I wanted to find how each facet could have equal status and through this find a new intuitive state of consciousness. I wished for something greater than thought or feeling. I hoped for insightful vision that has a spherical view of gender and that gives the ability to see movement from one manifestation of gender to another with fierce speed. Our Cultural and social life’s diverse realms of sexual identity and loving expression need acceptance without impediment, judgement, or fear.

 It is vital to have the authentic sight that comes from an open heart to have the clear vision that humanity needs to encourage this evolution of mind.

 This Heart warrior’s garments was created as though they were made of the elements themselves. The heart shield signifies the air and the skirt, foot ware and armlets signify the emotional/sexual life and water. I have used the gannet because of its incredible ability to live within the two spheres of air and sea and its razor-sharp vision. This endangered bird’s symbolism is a powerful message to remain undaunted in our own journey and strikes up the courage to pierce through the edge of one world and into another. The top of the shield has rods with brass propeller signifying the speed of movement. The skirt has key escutcheons holding glass waves. The overfished, endangered shimmering herring are the gannet’s prey. The herring in the glass armlets, front leg panels and shoes hold keys to symbolize opening a multitude of diverse worlds, each as valid as the other. The visor that accompanies the dress has a small aperture to represent the necessity to keep our vision intact and on track when our path is illuminated.

 When the heart is opened, its brilliance and new powers of vision are born unhindered.
