Por Dentro.

I am very excited about sharing this piece with you. It took me a long time (months) to finish it but I am so pleased with the final result.

This year I have been doing lots of meditation, reading and thinking about emotional growth. Then, I felt inspired to create a special and unique paper piece that contained all those elements.

This piece is about emotional growth and about introspection. I think that in order to develop our inner world we constantly need to look inside ourselves. We constantly need to take care of our "personal garden" and that's what the girl in this piece is doing.

When we lose contact with our inner world, negative things start happening; our personal garden dries out and the flowers and fruits disappear. You see a bird inside the girl. This bird represents that natural sense of direction that we all have, it's some sort of guide that helps us find our way through life. The bird can only be alive if the garden is alive, because they need each other.

On the other hand, I was extremely lucky to find this amazing antique frame that came with a bubble glass, it couldn't be more perfect. 

The frame measures 12" x 18".

Happy Monday!
