Head first. No hesitation. This tui isn't tiptoeing around the edges of the swirl, deciding whether it's safe. Already in it. Already moving. Already becoming something new on the other side.
This is what unravelling looks like when you stop fighting it. Patterns dissolving. Edges softening. The familiar giving way to something wilder and more beautiful than what came before.
For the ones who are done circling. Done shrinking. Done waiting for the right moment that never quite arrives. Sometimes the most courageous thing is to just dive in and trust what's on the other side.
The unravelling isn't the problem. It's the way through.
This mixed media acrylic with oil painting is 18x24 inches.
