“Don’t dismiss the elements. Water sooths and heals. Air refreshes and revives. Earth grounds and holds. Fire is a burning reminder of our own will and creative power. Swallow their spells. There’s a certain sweet comfort in knowing that you belong to them all.” – Victoria Erickson
Our understanding of the four elements has changed over the centuries. Some revered them, seeking an understanding of their mystical properties. Others tried to tame them, subdue them. They often touch the artists’ heart, inspiring awe and creativity, and we’ll hear that in these works.
