✨WIP🎨

Slowly bringing this story to life.

This piece is still evolving, but with every layer, it’s becoming a little closer to what I imagined.

There are still details to add.
Still stories to tell.
Still meaning to uncover.

For now, here’s a glimpse of where it stands.

✨If you had to describe this piece in one word so far, what would it be?

Slowly bring this story to life. 🎨🖤

This piece began as a feeling I couldn’t quite put into words.

Now it’s becoming something I can see.

Still unfinished.
Still evolving.

Just like healing.

✨What word comes to mind when you look at it so far?

Healing doesn’t always look like huge breakthroughs, sometimes it looks like small steps.

Rest.
Prayer.
Art.
Starting over.

For you…

What does healing look like right now?

A small detail from my current piece✨

The light in this artwork isn’t meant to represent happiness. It’s meant to represent hope.

The kind that shows up before things get better and reminds you to keep going even you can’t the path ahead.

Every symbol in this series has a story and this one of them. 🤎🎨

What does light symbolize to you?

This series started with realization. When I looked back at years of artwork, I noticed more than drawings.

I was documenting my journey.

That’s why series is different, it’s about turning emotions into stories through art.🎨🤎

I don’t just draw faces.
I draw healing.
I draw growth.
I draw the parts of ourselves we’re still learning to understand.

This reel is the beginning of a new body of work called Art Is My Therapy.

A series inspired by real emotions, real stories, and the belief that art can help us process what words sometimes can’t.

Thank you for being here at the beginning.🤍
