Traveling to … Chichen Itza Mayan Ruins :: Part I // Riviera Maya

June 16, 2014 · 8 Comments

Traveling to..Chichen ItzaThe favorite pastime of my father and I, is traveling to new places and photographing our journeys.

As I edited some photographs, from our recent trip Riviera Maya, Mexico, I found that our styles were quite similar. I couldn’t tell my work apart from my father’s, which is why I had to create two posts just for Chichen Itza. They all told a story of this ancient civilization, and the fact that these master pieces are still standing is amazing. What a great experience to travel and see one of the Wonders of the World. These photographs were just to beautiful to not share my experience with.

Traveling to..Chichen Itza

Going through photos of my recent trip to Riviera Maya, I was left in wonder, no pun intended, by these stunning photographs of Chichen Itza, the Mayan Ruins and can’t believe I had the opportunity to travel and see one of the wonder of the world. It is now, looking back, without the rush of a planned tour, that I notice the true beauty of these wonders.

Traveling to..Chichen ItzaThese two images {above and below} were taken of the same corner of the Mayan ruin, but were taken by either my father or I. The same image but two completely different photographs, two opposite moods. The first, light and bright, like the morning, the second, darker moody, like a stormy evening. What I love most about this one is its rich contrast in colors from stone grays and blues, and deep green, and its bright lighting which heightens the intricate details.

Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a little something we’re all looking forward to … Color! But there in lies the complex beauty of color. We connect & interpret it in so many personal ways — some of us are drawn to the beauty in the soft muted tones, while others it’s the bright rich hues. Each view & approach, a special way of embracing color✨🌿🌈And I am here for all it!

“Ikebana; the Japanese art of flower arranging t “Ikebana; the Japanese art of flower arranging that emphasizes form & balance — symbolizing the beauty & essence of all components in Nature working in harmony. Ikebana expresses strong emotions through its four principles of a fresh approach, movement, balance & harmony, while highlighting its three elements; line, color & mass. 

Ikebana designs use fewer stems that are intentionally arranged to reflect the balance of opposing elements. Ikebana floral art is a reflection of the person creating it & its evolving story.”

This year I’m challenging myself each month to create a design. Whether it be a centerpiece or tablescape, I want to expand & challenge my creativity, skills & ever-flowing ideas. It’s a perfect way for me to create for the sake of creating while inspiring you with joyful pieces & help others see unlikely designs with a new perspective. 

I was naturally drawn to the traditional artform of Ikebana, for it takes the simplest elements & transforms them into designs that evoke an immense emotion. For me there is so much power & beauty in that, but also why I think it’s not as understood or appreciated as elaborate floral designs. 

I stumbled upon this forgotten small blue & white dish, thought how perfect it would be to capture the story of “Winter Blues” — not the sadness of the bitter season, but the emotion of a fresh clean slate where Nature is bare, minimal & calm, yet open to all the possibilities of the unknown … using a few sprigs of Blue Thistle & the inspiration of Ikebana intentions, this tiny delight was made💙

Dreamery is a bespoke event and floral design brand focusing on gatherings of all sizes, stylings, home, decor and the limitless creative projects yet to be envisioned. Nature, travel, old world treasures & slow living are my constant inspiration.
