DIVINE CENTER / The Labyrinth at Serenbe. Away from the city, searching for the calm. Nestled in a clearing in the trees. A labyrinth in the forest. Each stone marching along. Marking a slow path of reflection. The body circling to the center. Clearing the mind, gaining insight. The warmth of the sun caressing the skin. One step, followed by another. The gaze draws inward. The body moves forward. Words and photos / Jihan Sherman.

11 / the SACRED. Thanks by Chilean muralist Dasic Fernandez was installed in 2015 as part of the Outer Space Project in Atlanta, GA. We bow our heads. Press our hands together. Look to the heavens. Wrapped in stillness, the world around us quiets. We settle into the rites, the ritual. Slowly with each breath, we connect. Letting in something greater more than us. The spiritual. The sacred.

http://www.estelleandboots.com/quiet
The Ando Gallery at the Art Institute of Chicago opened in 1992. The gallery was designed by Japanese architect, Tadao Ando. Out of the noise. We enter into stillness. A moment of calm. A place of rest. We reflect, we observe,. With a gentle power. We are left anew. To start the New Year we are exploring the QUIET. For the entire month of January we look for stillness, spaces of reflection and the quiet in the constant noise that occupies our everyday existence. Words and photos / Jihan Sherman.

BEYOND SNEAKERS / The Rise of Sneaker Culture at the High Museum « Estelle + Boots

BEYOND SNEAKERS / The Rise of Sneaker Culture at the High Museum. They go by many names. Sneakers, trainers, joggers, kicks. Faded leather and exhausted soles. Born from the need for comfortable, practical athletic shoes. Modern sneakers are much more than that. They are a fashion statement. The evolution of style displayed in glass cases. You can see the stark contrast from old to new. I wonder how many miles they have walked. What streets they have seen. What outfits they have completed.
