A visual meditation on impermanence, trust, and the Divine Mother as our truest refuge.
There are moments in life when the structures we’ve leaned on—identities, relationships, communities—begin to crumble. We may not feel ready. We may still be holding on, not quite having outgrown the chapter. And yet, life moves. The ship begins to sink.
This painting was born from one of those moments. For me, it was a rupture in a place I thought was home. A space I had poured myself into that no longer held me with the integrity or safety I needed. The loss felt sudden, premature—like a breakup I didn’t see coming.
A beloved teacher offered a metaphor that stayed with me: “You’re rearranging chairs on the deck of the Titanic. It’s time to get on the lifeboat.”
So I did. I leapt—afraid, grieving, unsure—and found myself held, once again, by something deeper than my circumstances.
In this painting, a solitary figure sits inside a glowing lifeboat—shaped like a sacred oil lamp, a vessel of light amidst chaos. Around her float iceberg shards, broken chairs, and a sinking ship that once seemed unsinkable. The lifeboat is named Mā, the Divine Mother, who destroys illusion with one hand and blesses with the other. She both breaks what binds us and carries us home.
“False Promise” is not just about one ending. It’s about the nature of all endings—the false security we place in outer things, and the quiet liberation in remembering that nothing external can offer the steady peace we seek. That peace, that refuge, is found in the eternal, in the Divine, in the Heart of who we truly are.
May this painting remind you that even when things fall apart, something greater is holding you. That sometimes, the ship has to sink for you to remember what is most important.
A visual prayer for those navigating endings.
A talisman for those learning to trust the invisible.
A hymn for the ones remembering where home truly is.
Jai Mā.
