After The Fall

Mixed Media on Paper, 15" x 11", 2025

"She fell - hard,

into silence

where no light reached.

But rock bottom

wasn't her end-

it was foundation.

From the ache

she built anew,

each breath defying

the pull of the dark. 

She rose,

not untouched,

but transformed.

She wasn't the fall.

She was the rising."
