"Crossing" - 30 x 40 Mixed Media on Gallery-Wrapped Canvas

She walks through water—deliberate, barefoot, unafraid.

Each step forward is an act of letting go: of the weight she carried, the doubts she buried, the voices that told her she couldn’t. Behind her, the water holds fragments of her past—blurred reflections of who she was, distorted by time but never erased.

The surface ripples around her, not from fear, but from movement. From momentum. From choice.

She doesn't run. She doesn't rush. She walks—knowing the path to something better isn't paved, but found by those willing to wade through uncertainty.

Ahead of her, light spills from a horizon not yet defined. A better world—not perfect, but possible. Not promised, but within reach. A place of truth, creation, and calm. A place she’s building with every forward step.

She is not escaping. She is evolving.

This piece is a reflection of all of us who have had to cross something difficult to find what’s next. It honors the quiet power of persistence and the beautiful courage it takes to begin again.
