AYAM Vision Collage by Ilsen Noriega

Mama Aya is waiting for us, I can see it and I can feel it. Regardless of the amount of time it will take us to get there, she is ready to receive us in our future home.

When I thought of a way to share my vision of AYAM, i found it very challenging because it was hard to put it into words. When closing my eyes I could completely see the vision, but it was difficult to express these emotions in sentences. I knew a collage would be the best way to represent what I had in mind. With a few images, I was able to recreate the vision I imagined. At the time of creating this image, I was also rediscovering my love for collages, and it clicked! I felt myself flowing with this creative energy that took me through this magical world.

I made sure to add everything the AYAM community needs, from a space for ceremony to what will be the permanent home for Rachael and her beautiful family. I was reminded by the plant medicine to surround this space with the most beautiful nature, to help and heal the community.
