ILLUSTRATION | Prayers to the Sky
Artwork for Nadiya Shah's book, Prayers to the Sky, 2019
The ancients looked at the sky and felt it lit up with the sacred, with whom they shared a personal connection. Today, it is this very personal interconnection that brings people to astrology everyday. This book will remind you of the sacred connection you share to everyone and everything, and help you find personalized, experimental, and structured ways to cultivate a relationship with each of the planets. Here, Nadiya shares “Planetary Prayers”, which is a conversation with yourself, with your own natal chart, and with the sky as it is right now. It is to communicate and commune with the sacred that you express and represent more deeply. This is done for the purpose of awareness. An awareness of how much of you, and your human experience, is ultimately an expression of all that is wise, loving, and good in the universe. Whether you are a student of astrology and want to deepen your understanding of the symbols in the sky, or you are someone who desires to know the sacred energies you see in the sky more deeply, Prayers To The Sky is at once a practical guide and inspiring mythic tales, to help you on your journey towards knowing and loving the astrological planets more deeply.

ILLUSTRATION | The Body and The Cosmos
Artwork for Nadiya Shah's book, The Body and The Cosmos, 2019
The entirety of the cosmos is within us. Plato details as such in his noted dialogue Timaeus, which presents a mystical exploration of the origins of the Universe, and our intimate, individual connection to it. The Body and The Cosmos uses Plato’s work as a jumping off point, drawing astrological associations to Plato's historic philosophical articulation, going through each of the 12 signs of the zodiac. By drawing these connections, Nadiya Shah presents a work that is truly unique. At once a theoretical exploration, and simultaneously a practical guide, filled with movement suggestions and guided meditations. In this book you’ll learn how each of the 12 signs of the zodiac speak through us, body and soul, for their esoteric relevance. It is meant to be a starting point, to facilitate a deep connection to a cosmos you can feel within.

My special tribute to the beautiful and insightful Claire Nakti - who
has been a wise and knowledgeable friend and inspiration.
Due to YouTube, Instagram, and social media in general, the cosmetics industry has seen a huge interest growth in women's beauty. This shows the deep interest that we, as human beings (both men and women), have for the female form. Although modern culture tends to emphasize a certain kind of “feminism” that may encourage women to leave behind their unique magnetic femininity and take on more traditionally masculine traits, the popularity of cosmetics online is a testament that many women still want to embrace the unique opportunity to explore the feminine mysteries, which inevitably center around the female body and the power it possesses. Astrology is the science of the magnetic astral forces operating on human beings. We all possess a starry (astral) magnetic body that is subject to the planets. A human being's appearance is a result of the planetary bodies acting upon this subtle sheath. Just as in Cosmology we find that each planet is essential and possessing its own incomparable beauty, so too do we find that there are many types of beauty that human beings embody. —Cosmetique Astrology

Happy to finally be united with my cosmic sister and mentor Nadiya
on a Sagittarius Full Moon in Jakarta! Pure love and magic.
Road trip to Bandung with Nadiya! Mindful chats and making new connections.
One of my biggest dreams came true in 2017! Instead of me coming to meet Nadiya in Bali, Nadiya came to meet me in Jakarta! If someone had told me that I wouldn't have to go anywhere to meet Nadiya, I would've said no way. But it did happen and it confirmed my belief that when it's destined, no matter how far the distance, we'll get there. Thank you Nadiya, it was truly magical and beautiful to spend the days with you while you were here. Till we meet again, love always and forever.
After watching Nadiya's videos on YouTube for so long, here I am in video with Nadiya in Jakarta! It was fun to talk about astrology, fashion and creative inspiration with you. Thank you for being you and sharing your light and inspiration with me - inspiring me to stay true to myself, yet always be open to explore new paths and possibilities.

do, to wake up in the morning and actually find that
day exciting is the biggest victory you can do.

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live,
mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same
time, the ones that never yawn or say a commonplace thing,
but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles
exploding like spiders across the stars and in the
middle you see the blue centerlight pop
and everybody goes "Awww!"
—Jack Kerouac

PORTRAIT | 30th Birthday
October 20th, 2015
The big 3.0 is finally here! I thought I was going to feel anxious about it. Turns out, I feel just the same, if not better! Honestly, it can be tempting at this time to look at what others have done or achieved in their life, and then to look at my own life and feel like I haven't done enough. But I know that this doesn't have to be about that after all, but more about what I want to do next in my life! I have to admit, I do have that perfectionist streak in me. Always striving to do better, and be better than I was yesterday, which can be good in one way, but tiring at the same time. Because it often takes me longer to do or to create things, as I make sure that everything works well, looks good, and makes sense. I'm still working on that. All I need to do now is to start being more present in the moment, and to begin a more intimate connection with my soul. A more mature connection. A more accepting connection. A more peaceful connection. Here's to another year of growing!

Happy to finally find the time to catch up again, even though it was only for a brief anniversary lunch. I like to call our group 'Triopreneur' because we've participated in the same exhibitions together before, and our collections can be found at the same store, Alun Alun Indonesia. It truly has been great to know that I'm not alone, and as creatives, we truly go through similar experiences. Once again I'd like to express my sincerest gratitude for all the sharing, learning and understanding. Let's keep our passion burning bright, and our creative spirit alive!
