“I gently layered soft grays and subtle browns to create the feather’s delicate texture, letting the lighter hues flow into each other effortlessly for a calm and soothing effect. Each brushstroke was intentional yet fluid, capturing a sense of grace with the occasional splatter and drip that hint at life's unpredictability. By focusing on the gentle rise and fall of the feather, I wanted to inspire a feeling of letting go and the quiet strength found in giving oneself to the moment.”
