I painted this during a time in my life where I was already navigating health challenges,
when the symbol of the phoenix came back to me.
So, I felt drawn to recreate it in my own way.
It is a reminder to trust the inner voice—
the quiet guidance of the heart, even in uncertain moments.
Even in the darkest phases,
there is something within us that knows how to rise.
It’s about strength that doesn’t force—
but returns, again and again.
Not everything is lost in the fire.
Some things return, in their own time.
Can you feel what’s still there,
underneath it all?
