Nothing in Me Was Meant to Be Hidden is a symbolic exploration of authenticity — of allowing every color within us to exist without shrinking, disguising, or choosing which parts deserve to be seen.
At the center stands a radiant bird, carrying many colors within its feathers. Beneath it stretches a field of clear quartz, catching and reflecting those colors back into the world.
The bird represents the self in its fullness — complex, vibrant, and impossible to reduce to a single shade. The clear quartz symbolizes clarity and reflection. It does not change what stands before it; it simply reveals and multiplies what is already there.
When you stop hiding parts of yourself, the world finally has something true to reflect back to you.
Perhaps becoming yourself was never about adding more. Perhaps it was about allowing everything that was already there to be seen.
The symbolism is an invitation, not a definition. You may discover your own story within this piece — and that story belongs to you.
