Feeling Safe Enough to Feel
Feeling Safe Enough to Feel is a contemplative body of work that explores the quiet, profound journey of self-discovery that unfolds when we create a space of true safety within. This series invites you to soften into your heart, beyond the noise of self-doubt and external expectations.
Each layer of ink, paper, or fabric, expresses another layer of what is present.
This work speaks to those who are ready to trust themselves again, to listen inward, and to hold space for their own unfolding.
