It has been an incredible journey of creativity and friendship to make this collaboration happen. When I first saw one of Chanington's photos, I was halted by beauty in a breath, so pure it didn't need past or future to exist. Truth only belongs to an instant yet he achieves to create and capture absolute moments of truth, so abstract and pure they become eternal.

Creating is driven by curiosity and I believe in a very special kind of magic that happens when two seemingly unrelated art forms collide and discover what was previously unknown. I believe this to be true for a relationship: Two beings and their solitude united by love, together in a dangerous uncharted path to discovery and flourishing, free from past or future. Fed by this sense of exploration, I want to unearth different interpretations of our product by artists and their mediums.

Our first Artistic Collab: An interpretation of our Unity Veil through a series of photographs portraying the beauty of a long lasting love with its grace and its pains. A complex love story of chaos and colour, of tension and fragility, of unity and acceptance.

"Appears to be strong, but actually fragile. Complex but organized. Balance is the key for its stability, but what matters the most is to keep it real."Chanington, Vancouver BC, 2020

A LONG LASTING LOVE. MOST OF IT HAPPENS IN THE KITCHEN. A ROOM AS A METAPHOR. ELEMENTS AND TOOLS CREATING A NEW LIFE FORM WITH A POUNDING HEART ON ITS OWN. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL FRAGILE BALANCE BETWEEN TRUTH AND LIFE VS FEAR AND DEATH.
JOINED AS A WHOLE, GREATER THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS. ALL ARE WELCOME HERE WITH THEIR TRUTH. A COLLECTION OF SEPARATE PARTS, CREATING A SUPERNOVA MIX OF LOVE, LARGER THAN THE INDIVIDUAL PARTS ON ITS OWN. UNITY IN DUALITY.
THE STRONGEST LOVE DISPLAYS ITS FRAGILITY. IT TAKES A PARTICULAR TYPE OF COURAGE TO BRING AWARENESS TO A BEAUTIFUL THING THAT CAN BE EASILY BROKEN. BECAUSE, HOW INCONSEQUENTIAL IS FRAILTY AGAINST THE JOY OF LOVING AND BEING LOVED?

A path of satin covered buttons at the centre of an English tulle veil symbolizing a sacred union. A reminder of how powerful a love union can be but also as a celebration of the universe, made up of all things. At its most basic level, the word means the state of being united or joined as a whole. There is nothing that is not interconnected with everything else. What we do to everything, we do to ourselves; we have no option but to love all.
