“I chose a soft yet rich indigo for this painting, letting it flow naturally across the paper to create gentle transitions and subtle contrasts with the white background. I used a watercolor technique to let the pigment blend seamlessly, creating a feather-like shape that speaks to both strength and gentleness. As I painted, the brushstrokes and delicate splatters at the tip conveyed a sense of connection and balance, capturing the idea of finding calm and comfort amidst life's ebbs and flows.”
