We are always reaching for stars that keep crossing over, for invisible, necessary, everlasting connections - prisoners, citizens of an eternal glass box.

Another incredible piece from a master crafts woman who turns words into feelings and beyond. I loved this piece. It's observation, attunement and release and execution fall perfectly into place. I love the way you weave words, concepts and time into a beautiful picture of what might be. When overthinking is spectacular.

It sounds incredibly exhausting to feel trapped in a cycle you didn't choose, constantly chasing something that stays just out of reach. But even though you feel stuck, there’s so much strength in how deeply you understand your own pain. You are hurting, but by being willing to face those wounds with kindness, you're already finding a way to heal, even if it doesn't feel like it yet.

This shines! And highlights the aches of subdued glowing individually and together.

Such a raw and beautiful reflection on what it takes to finally turn inward and face the pain ✨
