“Inner World”
This drawing explores the idea that we all live, in some way, inside our own minds. The architecture within Athena’s head represents the worlds we build from our thoughts, memories, beliefs, fears, and dreams—walls and stairways that can either confine us or lead us somewhere new. What we experience as reality is partly a creation of our own consciousness; the inner world we carry can become the outer world we see. Athena represents wisdom, strength, and the knowing that what we are searching for is not somewhere outside of us—it is already within us. The journey inward is the journey toward remembering who we truly are.
