“Creating this piece, I chose a monochromatic palette, using shades of black and gray to explore depth and nuance. The feather's delicate form contrasts with the bold, sweeping brushstrokes, where soft transitions and subtle gradients echo a gentle resilience. As the paint lightly splatters and drips, a sense of movement and freedom unfolds, suggesting the quiet strength and clarity of purpose each of us carries within.”
