Life as Art

All the stories we tell ourselves are central to our journey through life, especially when we are living within a violent setting. Although it can be challenging to be introspective enough to stop blaming and shaming ourselves and others, it is an essential step in moving forward into awareness, forgiveness, and healing. Within a poignant anthology of inspirational quotes, photographs, and artwork, Gail Morningstar relies on insights from her work as a clinical therapist and integrative life coach to explore the notions of suffering, judgment, surrender, and compassion to help others attain a deeper understanding of co-creation and the arts. Interspersed throughout the artwork are quotes from philosophers, great thinkers, and creators of music, poetry, films, paintings, literature, and much more-all considered from hindsight, I sight, insight through the lens of art. Along the way, Morningstar encourages us to view the photos as a Rorschach game of self-reflection. Life as Art shares artwork, inspirational quotes, and photographs that lead others on an introspective journey through the heart and soul to reach forgiveness, healing, and a new beginning.
