This painting is about what it feels like to begin again after making a life-changing decision.

​

The decision has been made. The threshold has been crossed. And now, for the first time, there is space for something new to emerge.

​

For me, this was the moment my husband and I arrived in Türkiye. I finally had the opportunity to create a life that was entirely my own. A fresh start. A new beginning.

​

The woman in this painting is open to all of it. Her face is lifted, light flooding in as she lets go of everything that no longer belongs and makes space for everything that does.

​

This was the beginning of a life that felt truly mine.
