These two kereru don't need to announce themselves. They already know. The one behind stands tall, holding the full weight of what's coming with complete ease. The one in front is somewhere else entirely, deep in its own counsel, listening to something only it can hear.
This is the pause before everything changes. Not hesitation. Not doubt. Just that profound moment of inner knowing where the decision is already made and the body is simply catching up.
There's a sovereignty in that. In knowing your own path so completely that you don't need to rush toward it. This piece is an invitation to that same stillness. To stop. To listen. To trust what you already know about who you're becoming.
You've always known. This painting is just the reminder.
