Stef's Editions '23

"Bulls Eye" is a masterfully executed self-portrait that delves into the complex and nuanced themes of societal gaze and self-perception. The artist has skillfully used their own body as the focal point of the piece, creating a striking and confrontational image that immediately captures the viewer"s attention.  
The bold background adds a sense of urgency and intensity to the piece, while the artist"s fierce expression further emphasizes the powerful message being conveyed. "Bulls Eye" is a truly masterful work of art that encourages deep contemplation and self-reflection.

The beautiful thing about art is, you either like it or you don"t. 
This is a social experiment.  


When all else fails

Colours, Lines & Feelings 

On the darkest of days we all feel alone, we feel helpless and weak, sometimes too weak to continue. We forget weve never been alone, even from the moment we were born  
We are in This world but we are not of it. And so we arent bound by it.

No matter what happens, the one who put us here would never let us go.

Oh, what an elating feeling it is to be saved by you.

AnjolaDave, 2024   


To Be Saved By You.

In the cradle of companionship we share everything with each other. The good, the bad, the ugly and even the simply amazing bits of ourselves are let out to roam free.  
Were so vulnerable yet, so at peace, knowing we  are in the safest space for us to be who we are.

Its such a beautiful thing to have those bonds.  
The ones that reveal the best of us, even to ourselves.  
Everything is perfect when I let those bits of me out,  
from my heart to yours.

AnjolaDave, 2024 

From My Heart To Yours.

Self love, sometimes its all you need. Consciously reminding yourself of your worth, reminiscing your moments of strength and finding conviction in them.

It takes a lot to stay afloat in the drowning sea of life. Everything else is wired to tell you you dont belong, youre not enough, you cant get that far.

If you sat and waited to hear positive things from other people and circumstances in your down times, the wait would be long, but strength found in a personal conviction of who you think you are can never be taken away from you.

Truly we are at our best when we are one with ourselves.  
In Self Embrace.

In Self Embrace.

Never really fit in anywhere, I tried so hard, Id always wonder why I couldnt.

Till I realized that each time I was just trying to be someone Im not,  
Letting the world make my decisions

I knew something had to change if I was ever going to find myself.

Then I realized I just had to be my own person and take pride in the things that make me different from others,  
The things that make me who I am

Now I see my self just how I was perfectly made to be

In the Mirror Of The Self.

AnjolaDave  2022

Mirror Of The Self.

We need people, not because were weak, not because we cant do life on our own, not because were incapable of existing without other people  
But because all that life has to offer is best experienced in companionship.  
Its a gift to know someone has your back, to know you can rely on someone to share your experiences with (good or bad).

All things we tend to experience as we go through life are so much easier on the heart and lighter on the spirit when you have  
A Shoulder To Lean On.

A Shoulder To Lean On.

Its easy to forget the good times when the road gets bumpy. We tend to lose sight of how good things used to be when we face challenges, and sometimes, thats okay.

Were only human.  
Its hard to watch the sun set on difficult situations.

We get so blinded by the illusion of the dark that we forget the light always returns, and all we need to do is to make it through, 
to sit back, take deep breaths and reflect on the beauty of the journey, keeping that hope alive that one day,

The Sun Will Shine On Us Again.

The Sun Will Shine On Us Again

Why do we fall? Is it by reason of weakness, mistakes or just chance?

When you take a look at the big picture, youd realize falling isnt always a bad thing.

It could be the catalyst for rebirth  
It could be the opportunity to start over,  
It could be the chance to do things differently.

I consider falling to be an eye opener, a necessary occurrence in the process of growth.

Failure strikes me as a bitter experience with a sweet aftertaste , a chance to right wrongs, self reflect and restrategize.

Life is wired in such a way that the greatest losses will occur just before the greatest wins.

When all else fails, we fall, so we can learn to pick ourselves up.

Anjoladave  2023

When All Else Fails.

If your dreams dont scare you I doubt youre dreaming big enough.  
Deep rooted in our dreams is our subconscious trying to bring things to life

You can just tell when those desires to become are direct fabrications of your own mind.

I like to tell myself that tough times are more than just an occurrence, that they are signs of a higher calling

and Ive heard people say the greatest people to walk the earth had it tougher than others,  
Not because life had it out for them but because a higher calling demands more from you  
It demands going against the natural and normal order of things

When you find out you want more out of life you get to see that you would have to give so much more to it, you would have to stretch yourself and break your limits, going beyond the illusions of your reality.  
To become that person you want to be 

But the best part about all of this is once you understand this aspect of the journey, its easier to stay focused because you know that focus has a purpose.

You realize that your Destiny Lies Above You.

AnjolaDave  2023

Our Destiny Lies Above Us.

What do you tell yourself when youre alone, when things go sideways?

On those days you dont know whats next, does the voice in your head inspire you?  
Do the whispers tell you to keep going


I think we have little control over our subconscious but even in that , we could draw a lot of strength from there.

Its the voice that speaks when everything else is silent

We must learn to nurture it to be the voice of reason and hope when were alone and we have those conversations with ourselves.

AnjolaDave  2023

Conversations With Myself.

In difficult times I would lift my head to the skies, the stars and the heavens, from there commeth my help.

Waiting patiently on an answer of conviction,  
"This is the path forged for you, the doors have been opened, it is time to walk through. Nothing can stop you."

I carefully await the coming, the coming of my message from Heaven.


Anjoladave  2023

A Message From Heaven.

I feel burdened with a lot of responsibilities, 
Sometimes I dont think I can hold my own, 
I doubt my strength and I wonder, where does it end?

Then I turn to God, and Im reminded that the journey of great purpose is not the easy one, its the challenging one, the provoking one and eventually, the rewarding one. 

With the title taken from Isaiah 9:6 ;  
 Unto Us A Child Is Born, Unto Us A Son Is Given,  
Referring to Jesus, one born of Glorious Purpose.

I realized that a lot of responsibility falls to me being a Son and not just a boy child, to realize the things I must do to be the best version of myself that I can be, not just to myself but to my family, friends and everyone around me.

In this, I find strength to carry on, with hopes of a greater future, becoming the Son that is Given.
