Silvana Benacchio | The Way Out Is To Go Within | 2021
ARTIST’S STATEMENT:
The way out of crisis, challenge, turmoil, indecision is to go within.
Pause, breathe slowly & deeply, become still and silent and listen to your inner
knowing. You have all the answers you need within you. You were born with all
the resources you need in life. As long as you keep breathing, there is always
hope. You have the power to grow your outcomes. Be mindful of the ‘thought
seeds’ you plant. The seed of Knowing & Hope is within you.

the answers are always within us.

A playful, colourful spiritual master is shown controlling water and fire, yet he is
just a puppet guided by a modern man. The subject is the famous actor Leo
Luo Yunxi, depicted dressed for a Wuxia role (martial arts hero) and also in

cultivate our own character as something wonderful. We have the freedom
and potential to show up to ourselves, and to others, as powerful and graceful
heroes.
