Between Water and Sky

She floats between. This painting is an exploration of the human experience, our joys and sorrows, our memories and dreams, our struggles and triumphs, and the endless ways we learn to live, love, heal, and transform. The patterned body represents personal stories, symbols, and inner worlds. The simplified face expresses joyful awareness, as if awakening to one’s own presence for the first time. Surrounding figures suggest that transformation does not happen alone, but in relation to others, supported and shared. Butterflies serve as quiet affirmations that change is both liberating and beautiful. 2026
