Brief art discussion:
This work centers release, safety, and self-recognition. Soft transitions privilege feeling over exact likeness, an approach shaped by prosopagnosia, so the portrait becomes a practice of care: breathing space into identity, honoring boundaries, and allowing tenderness to lead. It frames freedom not as triumphal noise but as a quiet, sustaining exhale.

Care & shipping:
- Ships securely boxed and insured
- Dust with a soft, dry cloth; avoid direct sunlight and moisture

One of one—ideal for collectors drawn to narrative, resilience, and contemporary portraiture.
