Mimesis. Greek roots, Mimeîsthai (to imitate), from Mîmos (a mime): The representation of aspects of the real world, especially human actions, in literature and art.
Mimesis, from the ancient idea of imitation, reflects the way art mirrors life not by copying its surface, but by revealing its hidden pulse. These works appear simple — brief, light, almost effortless — yet carry a deeper resonance beneath their minimal forms. This mirrors how a gem can carry deep historical meaning and spiritual energy, yet only show a simple physical form.
The pressures of Haiku’s strict form create diamonds, and diamonds, are a girl’s best friend.

Belle, light-footed and bright, embodies the receptive intuitive quality of the feminine. Her many small forms hold vast meanings. Belle is a nurse, by healing through the feminine; imitation becomes a gesture towards a new world.
“Snoopy’s only sister, Belle, lives in Kansas City with her teenage son. Snoopy and Belle reconnected when Snoopy hopped the wrong train on his way to Wimbledon and ended up in Missouri. Belle is smart and kind. She often pops up in Snoopy’s Flying Ace adventures as a nurse on the front lines of the battlefield, helping heal soldiers with the power of doughnuts.”
Marbles represents a less artistic, more focused and educational type of art. The video art above aims to send a direct message, some esoteric.
“Snoopy describes his brother, Marbles, as the ‘smart one in the family.’ Marbles has speckled fur and prefers wearing sneakers to walking around in bare paws. He is quiet, and weary of cats, often checking for them before entering a new place. Marbles issmart but lacks the imagination of his other siblings. He always finds himself confused by the games Snoopy plays.”
