The Courage to Become

The The Courage to Become Series explores nature as a quiet guide for resilience, courage, stillness, and becoming.

The ginkgo biloba piece features many ancient leaves and a single bird — observing, learning, and slowly gathering the courage to fly. It speaks of peace, longevity, and the inner strength found in stillness.

The red heliconia piece appears bold and confident, set within a wild forest with yellow ginger flowers. Yet within its striking form are flaws and vulnerability, reminding us that strength is not perfection, but the courage to stand fully in our colours.

Together, these silk works reflect the journey between observing and becoming, confidence and vulnerability, stillness and flight.
