Healing

(Work in Progress)

Healing is an ongoing, evolving work that mirrors my own journey of recovery, self-discovery, and growth. It’s a deeply personal piece that holds my inner most thoughts.

Each time I return to the canvas, I rotated it, intentionally removing the idea of a ‘right way up.’ Just like healing, there’s no fixed direction, only movement. Across the surface, I’ve inscribed words and affirmations in different languages, gathered from moments of reflection, joy, and strength. They form a patchwork of global love - whispers from the heart in every tongue.

This piece is layered with emotion and texture: sprayed mists of ultramarine and white, sweeping gestures, delicate handwritten thoughts, quick scribbles, splashes of ink. It holds space for everything - grief, hope, laughter, messiness, and truth. Healing isn’t finished, because healing never really is. It’s still unfolding. And that’s the beauty of it.

A Visual Meditation on Recovery and Rebirth.
