Letting Go speaks to the freedom of release: the courage to let go of the past, the strength to rise above the weight of the present, and the hope to soar into the reality we were made for. It is not escape—it is empowerment. It is thriving. It is hope, carried on the wind.
Letting Go was born after a two-year pause from painting, when the idea for my Safe Arbors series finally resurfaced. Inspired by the view from my own window, I had imagined safety as something external: trees shielding us from storms, protecting fragile souls. But this canvas revealed something deeper.
The bird in the frame wasn’t planned—it flew in as I snapped reference photos, circling as if sent as a sign. At first, I thought it was just a blessing for the project. Now, I see it was special to this piece: we are the bird. The tree is the Lord—our strength, our safe arbor—shielding us from our past, and empowering us to fly into the glorious unknown. What can we be without our past personas, mistakes and opinions. This protection isn’t about walls around us, but wings within us.
