The collaborative artists connect their ideas collaboratively together. The collaboration artists work within a combination of abstraction, surrealism, action painting and performance art which connects the unconscious and spiritual through the individual artists. The collaborative artists relate to the title as they both are encountering their personal experiences. The collaboration artists also express their works through the use of colour, mark-making and the overwhelming effect connecting dominantly towards the unconscious and spiritual awakening. Both collaborative artists have experienced a journey in life where they had felt the unconscious and spiritual awakening expressed.
The collaboration artists also work with shadows to release the unconscious from the use of light and shadow. The light reveals hidden meanings from the shadows. The light and shadow show dominant intensity expressing the unconscious. The collaborative artist has explored using acrylic paints, gloss paints, oil crayons, screen printing, paper, light, wood, canvas and MDF.

Although they both work in different ways, they both explore the theme of the unconscious where it leads them to develop works meditatively; which has a connection towards them.
