TarZen T. Art as Therapy

Using your art, to turn pain into peace.



Tar- Dark, sticky, hard (The pain)

Zen- Peace, tranquility, healing (the peace)


& Yes I love the movie Tarzan too- There are many small, but significant, moments of the movie and book, that reflect the power of connection and self-discovery.


Below is the picture and moment, that inspired the logo:

From the 1999 Disney movie scene:


Kala (mother gorilla): What are you doing?


*Tarzan smears mud on his face*


Tarzan: Why am I so different?


Kala: Because you are covered in mud. Thats why.


Tarzan: No! Kerchak says I didn't belong in the---


Kala: That's enough


Tarzan: Kerchak said, I don't belong in the family--


Kala: Nervmind what Ketchak said


Tarzan: Yea but--


*Kala starts to rub mud off of Tarzan's face*


Tarzan: No, Look at me!


Kala: I am Tarzan and do you know what I see?

*Touches his face* ...I see two eyes like mine, and a nose somewhere..ahh here..two ears..


*Laugh together*


Kala: Close your eyes, now forget what you see...what do you feel?

Tarzan : My heart Kala : Come here Tarzan : Your heart Kala : See, we're exactly the same Oh, Kerchak just can't see that Tarzan : I'll make him see it. I'll be the best ape ever Kala : All right- I bet you will.


What this moment signifies for me is how the bond between two completely different worlds can blossom into a sacred connection, self-discovery and healing.
