This piece represents part of my journey as an artist. the figure sitting in the boat: that’s me. The one rowing, trying to move forward, even when it’s heavy. Even when it feels like no one sees The one standing that’s the hand that rises The people who show up. The ones who support, who believe, who hold space for artists like me to keep going This isn’t about being saved. It’s not about help It’s about presence. About sharing the moment
