This work captures the quiet, almost imperceptible strength that emerges when a woman finally exhales after years deconstructing an overengineered life. The dandelion field is not nostalgia; it is a metaphor for the moment when resilience stops roaring and starts whispering. Each textured layer is built with acrylics, sand, and gesso, creating a surface that feels alive, shifting with light like seed-heads about to lift into the air.
The palette moves between soft golds, muted greens, and diffused whites, evoking the threshold between earth and breath. The composition suggests both stillness and movement: the grounded weight of the soil beneath, and the subtle, inevitable drift of the dandelion seeds above it. This duality mirrors the artist’s own transition from a high-pressure executive existence to an inner landscape where intuition and sensibility finally take precedence. In the context of the “Gifts of Being” series, this piece reflects one of the most understated gifts: noticingTry it!
