Two Sides of Becoming
Soft Pastel on Canson Velvet with Gold Foil
Framed to 16 x 20"*
 
This piece explores the fragile tension between inner reflection and outer identity. Rendered in soft pastels and accented with hand-applied gold foil, the dual faces symbolize transformation — the merging of what is seen and what is felt. One side closes its eyes, embodying introspection; the other meets the viewer’s gaze, confronting vulnerability and rebirth.
 
The gilded circle acts as both a boundary and a halo — a symbol of containment, healing, and the cyclical nature of growth. Through moody hues and expressive mark-making, Two Sides of Becoming invites the viewer to witness the alchemy of self: the reconciliation of shadow and light, pain and peace.
