Here are some W.I.P. images of “Eclosion”

“Eclosion” speaks to transformation — that sacred moment of stepping fully into your true self. Like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, it reflects the shedding of old layers and the quiet strength found in becoming someone new.

I create my collages using paper, acrylic paint, fabric, and trim, layering these materials to build texture and depth. When I work, I gather each element on my table with intention, guided by the thoughts and emotions I want to express. Sometimes I wait for the materials to “speak,” to show me what they represent. Each piece becomes a fragment of identity — fragile, strong, imperfect, and ever-evolving.

Together, they tell a story of growth, beauty, and self-emergence. “Eclosion” reminds us that becoming who we are isn’t a single moment — it’s a continuous unfolding.
