Here I Am

Here I am sitting on my mat, not just as an artist but as a witness;

To the light,

To the dark,

To the ones who've walked through storms and still found a way to rise.

Im building this studio not as an escape from the pain, but as a lamp in it.

A place where breath and brushstroke meet,

Where stillness is kind of a song,

Where colour finds ther cracks and pours itself in gently.

Because I know what it is to be soaked in the shadow sides - of illness, of loss

And of long nights with no answers.

I also know, the flicker of hope that art can bring with;

A pause,

A presence,

A prayer.

So this studio?

It is not just mine.

It is for you too.

For the weary, the waiting, the ones who need reminding that light still lives in us.
