"I don't have it all figured out, but I'm still becoming."
The mouth is one straight line. One eye is holding it together; the other gave up and became a scribble. And on the chest, where nobody is supposed to look, a small black heart wears a dusty-pink repair patch. For everyone who has ever answered "how are you?" slightly too quickly.
The face is split in two and the eyes don't agree with each other, but the smile is real. A small pink companion floats at the shoulder, mostly just glad to be included. For the days joy shows up unannounced and you decide to let it stay.
Half the figure is painted; the rest is still pencil, and that is not a mistake. An orange path sets off across the empty paper and stops mid-stroke, where a small pink companion waits without rushing anyone. For whoever you are halfway to being.
The three pieces share one palette and one emotional arc, from performing okay-ness to unexpected joy to becoming. Digital purchase is not open yet. Join the collector list on the Editions page to hear when verified customer files and secure checkout are ready.
