Designing the cover was fun. Though I tried to strip away the color to give more space to the words, in the end, I realized that color is integral to my perception, as I use it to contrast the possibilities inherent in polarities, aspects, and that third element that arises when one confronts deep emotional wounds. The shapes are part of my artistic practice, always channeling the ancestors before me, who had the courage and knowledge to show me part of the way.
The Nature of my Reality: everything I need is in my body
WRITTEN + ILLUSTRATED BY MONIKA BRAVO - CO-PRODUCED + EDITED BY MARI BUDLONG
Published by Studio of Endless Ideas, 2024
THIS 4-COLOR, 8”X5” POCKET-SIZED BOOK INCLUDES 240 PAGES FILLED WITH ANECDOTES AND VIBRANT VECTORIZED ILLUSTRATIONS.
This book traces my journey from disempowerment to self-awareness through the lenses of Human Design and Evolutionary Astrology—a language of numbers, harmonics, and planetary cycles interpreted through myth.
While it is not a study of these languages, readers can certainly learn from their unique perspectives on their own individuation journey of liberation from generational and personal trauma. Within these frameworks, I also explore the historical roots of economic systems, the origins of banking, and their connections to political and ecclesiastical authority.
Written in a non-linear, deeply personal, and self-reflective style, the book invites readers to create space for their own reflection. The illustrations are playful, adding a unique visual element to the text.
My philosophy integrates Eastern, ancestral, and cosmological traditions with psychological inquiry, praxeology, and Austrian economics, emphasizing liberty, value, resources, and self-worth in the pursuit of individual and societal service.
This project was partially funded by the Miami Individual Artists Program.
Digital version available at end of 2024.
