Recognizing Sunshine

A visual testimony to the moment a soul begins to reclaim it’s own light. At the bottom left, a pair of laceless red shoes serves as a quiet, heavy marker of a past spent in crisis — a reference to the stark reality fo hospital safety protocols ring a mental health struggle. Yet, the figure has stepped out of those shoes and onto a path of vibrant green, presenting the deliberate, grounding process of learning to be present. 

In a garment that mirrors a rising sun, the girl looks upwards moving away from the “shadow” of the past and into a world she is actively painting into existence. This piece captures the exact frequency of discovering meditation. That first, breathtaking moment of realizing that even after the darkest night, you have the power to recognize the sunshine
