Fear Shapes What Purity Cannot Hold

48" × 24"

Oil on Aluminum

Part of the Oracles collection.

We enter life with an instinctive sense that our voice belongs to us. As we grow, that certainty can become more complicated. Approval begins to feel conditional, and fear quietly teaches us to consider what will be accepted before deciding what to reveal.

There are many ways to become separated from yourself without noticing. We do it whenever belonging seems to depend on keeping some essential part of us out of sight.

Guidance helps us find our place in the world. It becomes something else when that place requires us to distrust what once felt natural. Growing up asks us to change, but it should not ask us to abandon the part of ourselves that existed before fear taught us to question it.
