“In this piece, I used soft washes of vibrant yellow and calming blue to create a feather that seems to flutter with life. The colors transition smoothly, yet spontaneously, capturing an airy lightness with controlled splatters and subtle drips for added texture. My brushstrokes flow outward, letting the feather stand as a symbol of resilience and discovery, inviting the viewer to find their own path forward with grace and strength.”
