In this collection, Rachel Weissman traces the lifecycle of phenomena through the lens of desire: what arises, what transforms, and what passes away. Each work captures a moment in the endless cycle of becoming and dissolution, where nothing remains fixed and everything is already turning into something else.

Metabolize is, at its heart, about the constant transformation inherent in all experience. Like the body that breaks down and rebuilds itself cell by cell, like the earth that composts fallen leaves into fertile soil, our desires, memories, and very selves are in perpetual flux. Each viewer brings their own attachments, their own lessons in letting go.

The original works, created in acrylic, charcoal, and soft pastels, have been translated into limited-edition prints, each preserving the distinct material qualities of their source: the urgency of brushstroke, the rawness of charcoal, the dissolution of blended pigments.

Each limited-edition print is produced with archival inks on Hahnemühle Etching paper, chosen for its exceptional depth, texture, and longevity. They honor the material sensitivity of the original works, inviting the viewer into an intimate encounter with form, surface, and stillness. Each piece comes with its own guided meditation created by the artist, four distinct practices for engaging directly with impermanence.

Rachel brings Metabolize to life through immersive contemplative art experiences held in art galleries, wellness studios, community centers, and private spaces. This guided group experience invites participants to engage with each piece through collective reflection, deepened awareness, and meditative dialogue, transforming the viewing experience into a shared journey of presence and inquiry.
