From the series: Regaining 20/20

This piece explores the imperfect, gradual journey toward clarity—a process that is often messy, nonlinear, and filled with both setbacks and breakthroughs. In life, achieving clarity is not a moment of instant perfection, but rather the result of continued work and healing. Some things cannot be restored to their original state, and instead, we must learn to mend and patch up the wounded parts of ourselves.

The work symbolizes the delicate balance between acknowledging what has been broken and embracing the healing process. It represents the idea that true clarity is not about restoring things to how they once were, but about transforming them—learning to see through eyes of love, acceptance, and growth.

The layers and textures in the piece embody the complexity of this healing journey, where every crack, every layer of paint, is both a sign of struggle and a testament to the strength it takes to move forward. This piece invites the viewer to reflect on their own process of mending, understanding that clarity emerges when we allow ourselves the time and patience to see beyond the surface, ultimately choosing growth over perfection.
