TRUE JOY I’d like to be there with you – behind that fake smile penetrating into the essence of true joy. The world of Clowns is a double sided sword. A big smile can bring Light to everybody’s mandala and can serve as a reminder to rise above one’s petty problems. With proper motivation, a big smile - regardless of one’s own situation - turns into a blessing for all there is, including oneself. On the other hand, unfortunately, fake smile has become a business logo. Survival fears combined with the need to sell at all costs create more fearful ghosts and eventually backfire as low self esteem. Only by moving honestly and bravely through one’s problems and fears, and by wishing to be of benefit for all there is, can one penetrate into the indestructible essence behind life’s circus and experience True Joy. May this mixed media drawing serve as a Guardian Angel for the soul of the beholder. This Print are a limited edition of only 108, NO OPEN EDITION. 108 is the number of spiritual completion. Mantras and prayers are traditionally counted with Malas or Rosaries, consisting of 108 beads each. Since ancient liberating secrets are concealed within Pono's artwork, she wishes her prints to circulate around the globe like Rosaries of Freedom Chant mantras. This artwork is museum grade giclee on canvas, numbered and hand signed by the artist, and included is the artist's story.
