This piece explores the dialogue between the adult self and the inner children we carry — the wounded, the hopeful, the forgotten. The kneeling figure represents the conscious self, holding space for the quiet, guarded girl within, while a young boy extends a flower — a gesture of innocence, forgiveness, and renewal.

The moment between their hands is the threshold of healing: where tenderness meets fear, where self-compassion begins to bridge what was once divided. The surrounding shadows are not enemies but witnesses, framing the light that grows when we finally turn toward ourselves.

Healing, in the end, is not about erasing the past, but offering it a hand — and a flower — in return.

This piece reflects finding calm within disorder. The repeating patterns symbolize life’s constant motion, while the blue spaces represent moments of pause — small acts of self-care that bring balance and grounding amidst chaos. #Art #MentalHealth #Selfcare

She often makes her costumes because she wants them to be super accurate. And she tends to select more niche characters, so finding already made versions is either not possible or too expensive.
She always does a great job making them. I constantly marvel at how good my kids can be at doing something for the first time. When they are determined and focused, they can do anything, especially creatively.

I think it’s just because life is constantly overwhelming for me right now. I can still function and get the most important stuff done, but it takes everything I’ve got. Reading, hearing and interpreting words is more difficult too, unless they’re within music. Somehow the music helps.

Images still easily speak to and for me though. I know what they are saying, but not with words. It’s more like knowing by just knowing….a feeling, sense or understanding that doesn’t need or require words.

I have to organize the clippings in some way in order to be able to use them. I might even use them to make ‘art-covers’ on journals that I’ll then sell.

I think it will be worth it. I just have to keep telling myself that it’ll be worth it. 😐

I found old drawings I made when I was 6.

While I analysed it I realised that I identified with the dragon.
So now I wondered what kind of dragon would stay true to the old drawing and yet represent my current self. Soon I discovered that the dragon I drew resembled a dragon I really liked from Httyd (my childhood series). I looked it up and the personality description matched.
So I decided to redraw it.

Here are the results.

For anyone wondering, here is the link to the dragon: Prickleboggle (Franchise)
