Making use of the power of words, I wrote a prayer of forgiveness with my own blood, which represents my family and socio-cultural origin. Then I illuminated the text through the light bulb painted with my blood.

This prayer helps us cleanse the past so that we can be at peace with ourselves. Forgiving is the best way to deal with and free ourselves from unwanted inheritances.

Prayer of Forgiveness

lf there is something or someone who has hurt me in the past, present or future, consciously or unconsciously, I forgive that person and release him/her.
lf I’ve hurt something or someone in the past, present or future, consciously or unconsciously, I ask him/her to forgive me and release me.
lf I’ve hurt myself in the past, present or future, consciously or unconsciously, I forgive myself and release me, for my sake and for the greater good.
