Creativity

A painting that began with fear.

I had developed a strong fear of spiders over time—
to the point where even the smallest one could bring a sense of panic.

So, I chose to face it by turning toward it.

I painted a spider—
not as something threatening,
but as something vibrant and beautiful.

And somewhere in that process, the anxiety weakened.

The spider became a symbol of creativity—
a reminder of what can be created, even from fear.

Today, that phobia no longer holds the same power.
