Remember Her?

In, "Remember Her?", I embarked on a journey of profound self-discovery and healing. The painting captures a young girl (a representation of my younger self), her expression fierce yet determined, her arms outstretched with strength and resolve. Beneath her, the words I wrote resonate with my intension: "Remember her? She's still there... inside you... waiting. Let's go get her." Each brushstroke was a cathartic release, a testament to the resilience and spirit of the girl I once was and the woman I have become.
 
Through this artwork, I confronted shadows of the past, and embraced that young girl inside me with a mother's love and compassion that I now possess. "Remember Her" serves as a poignant reminder to honor the aspects of myself that were wounded long ago, to embrace my vulnerability, and to remind myself of my resilience, as I continue my journey of profound self-discovery and healing.
