Be... Just Be. The Exhibition
Exhibition Piece #2: Dave
About Dave...
​
I learned of Dave through my husband. He talked about this great guy who had written a book of blokes poetry that was insightful, raw and honest. I finally met Dave to find he possessed a sense of fun and was not afraid to talk to the heart of matters; how refreshing. He had seen some time without a partner and it seemed he was not about to begin a new relationship...soon after however, he met a beautiful woman who is now his beautiful wife. His journey to heal, grow, learn and find authentic love makes him brave and I appreciated his candid and comfortable manner. It made me wonder about others and how they may fear repercussions to be open to another chance at love; so much so, that they don't "take the plunge" - perhaps they are unsure how?
About the photo shoot...
​
Dave’s story is about the learning and growth that comes with the courage and commitment to deeply reflect on what comes from within. It takes harsh truths of self-confrontation, albeit painful, to understand, accept and embrace his role to become a better person after experiences with and through, challenging life lessons. He garnered energy and solace from the ocean to help him create a life of dynamic equilibrium. This, in turn, served as the perfect creative balance for Dave’s photo shoot; to immerse the beach with deep reflection – the creative was a done deal.
