A true religion does not confine people to the darkness of ignorance and blind obedience. On the contrary, it awakens people intellectually and nourishes them. In the end, a true religion produces people of wisdom. Intellect is an extension of faith, and faith is an extension of intellect. With both faith and intellect working harmoniously, one can achieve unlimited self-development as a human being, fully developing one’s character.

Rosalie Levi (2011)
Aluminum Resin
5in × 12in × 4in — 4lb
Artist Rosalie Levi’s work is very fluid and sensual, expressing the energy inside the form. Inspired by the anatomy of the human body, her work captures the strength and continuity of the human spirit. “I was inspired to create a special piece to represent the strength of women around the world fighting breast cancer. I wanted the sculpture to represent hope and life. What better way to express this than through the creation of life. Beginning from the left side of the torso it has a cubist feel to it, but as it turns, it unfolds like the petals of a waking flower.”

It isn’t by getting out of the world that we become enlightened, but by getting into the world…by getting so tuned in that we can ride the waves of our existence and never get tossed because we become the waves.
