“In this piece, I used a delicate palette of deep blacks, soft grays, and subtle pinks to create a feather that feels both fragile and strong. The gentle transitions and fine brushstrokes add a sense of movement, while the feathery edges and light washes give it a sense of softness. As I painted, I aimed to capture a feeling of standing tall and embracing life's challenges, no matter how delicate the moment might seem.”
