The Weight of Letting Go
Size: 9 x 12.5″
The Weight of Letting Go was born from a moment of deep introspection—a meditation on loss, transformation, and the quiet courage required to release what once defined us. I was inspired by the emotional complexity of letting go: the sorrow, the emptiness, and the freedom that can follow.
The figure sits at the edge of a vast, silent landscape, her wings severed and placed behind. To me, the wings represent the identities, roles, and dreams we sometimes have to surrender—whether by choice or circumstance. The nudity is symbolic of vulnerability and the rawness of that experience.
I chose watercolor for its fluidity and softness, which allowed me to express the delicate balance between heaviness and light, control and release.
This piece is not just about loss—it’s about the in-between. The space after something ends, but before something new begins. That liminal place where we sit, breathe, and eventually, rise.
