There is beauty in the misaligned. In the living left of centre. The softness of this piece enhances the simplicity of the patterns, the overlay of life and the way we fit the pieces together. An allegory of not only individual beauty but that of the tribe and the way community can hold us up, hold space and hold us together.
Like all the pieces in this series. There’s a reframing of trauma here – how we can come to look at ourselves as a beautiful entity, as a survivor with the capability to see, with empathy, the softness in ourselves and the strength and resilience it has taken to achieve this place. A simple, symbolic emblem that encapsulates the wonder of hope as seen by those who have also seen hopelessness.

Please note: Whilst I’ve done my best to represent the true colours there will be some variation in the way different screens display and some colour variation is to be expected.
