“I worked with warm earthy tones, letting the rich burnt orange and deep brown flow freely into each other with gentle, deliberate brushstrokes to create a soft feather. The paint splatters and drips seem random yet purposeful, symbolizing moments of letting go and renewal. As I layered the colors, I imagined this feather representing resilience; it's a gentle reminder of the strength found in vulnerability and the beauty of embracing change.”
