“Transform Yourself, Transform Your World” is one of my favorite pieces that I created as an artist. In 2004, I was on vacation in Ponce, Puerto Rico staying at a friend’s house when I was captivated by this amazing stream of colorful warm light traveling through the high stained glass window. I immediately positioned my camera, set the timer, sat down and explored poses with one gem arising above the rest. “Transform Yourself, Transform Your World” captivates me to this day with the emotion it evokes. The angst, struggle, shadow, strength, masculinity. It symbolizes the pivotal moment when we say, “Enough! I’ve reached my limit.” Gathering new strength, resolve, breaking through, transforming our world into something better.
