“When you are in darkness, surrender to your Divine Self. From there, strength will arise and the path will unfold.”

"Surrender" is a sacred invitation to abandon inner struggle, to welcome the unexpected, to trust in the guidance of the cosmic Self. Surrender is not renunciation, but openness. It is the powerful gesture with which we strip ourselves of the illusions of control to enter into a greater flow, in harmony with our essential nature.

Surrendering means laying down the weapons of judgment—about what is right or wrong, useful or unsuccessful—to welcome the totality of being. It means saying yes to one's own deep truth, daring the most authentic freedom, embracing the courage to be oneself beyond any mask. It is an act of radical trust, a leap into the luminous abyss of our soul's destiny.

YOU ARE THE SURRENDER

The work is a mixed media photo-painting. Sarah Arensi paints her own face with gold leaf, transfiguring her image into a contemporary icon of divine femininity. She embodies the woman who, through everyday life, embodies the grace of those who surrender without fear, who walk firmly in the mystery of life, allowing themselves to be guided by love and presence.
