Awakening: the image is a visual representation of a young woman awakening to the intricate beauty and intensity of life. From her simplified face radiate colors, shapes, light, intensity, embodying the strength of her newly awakened spirit. The simplicity of her face symbolizes not just awakening, but also the amazement and expectation that accompany the discovery and transition to a new way of seeing the world. This calm center, grounded by the brown tones, contrasts the vibrant explosion of life around her, perhaps representing the stable reality that provides a foundation for her journey. In summary, the work aims to capture that ephemeral but transformative instant when life is revealed in all its fullness to the eyes of youth.
