Inspired by a dear friend, this illustration captures a quiet moment of introspection. Perched on a branch, the girl embraces stillness without needing answers. Her flowing hair and grounded boots reflect freedom and presence. Autumn tones speak of transition—not as an ending, but as part of becoming.
Around her, creatures observe silently. The bird in her hand whispers inward, like a gentle guide.
