Asking the UnIverse for peace & ease.

TWENTY23 :: Respond
Peace. A piece of the gesture, piece of your truth…peace of mind.
Wanting and yearning and waiting until the time is *just* right.
A gift, in response.
Returning to the gesture of the art making itself.
On purpose.
TWENTY24 :: REsonate
The knowing; what is.
The deep pang of regret with ill-willed response. Feeling absolution so strong you’re pushed to grab life by the breath and let it go.
TWENTY25 :: what will it be?
Tell us what you did this year, who you did it for and how you made life better?
Say what you really mean.
Say it with your chest. This is your year to say what you really mean and have the action to back it up, baby.
Thanks for reading and as ever, being an inspiration to persist.

AIAD is more than a brand; it's a movement. Jordan's portraiture-based photography intuitively focuses on healing and provides a sacred space for survivors to thrive. With a background in ballet spanning 11 years, Jordan's focus on core strength, balance, meditation, and yin yoga permeates their artistic practice. The result is a powerful blend of imagery that captures the essence of empowerment, ambition, and the embodiment of living goddesses. LAMINA (animal spelled backwards) celebrates that.
