"Indestructible"

The piece represents three powerful women in different stages of their live. The woman on the far left has not learned how to trust herself. She does not turn to herself for guidance. I depicted her looking away from her hands, as our hands are a place where we gain clarity. The woman in the middle is a dancer. She is balancing two dualities of her life. On one hand, she has the fire, the intensity of her life. On the other side, she has the peaceful, represented by a circle. The circle to me represent life and wholeness. The dancer is in the center of the piece balancing the two energies. And finally, on the far right you have the wise woman. The woman who trusts her mind and her spirit and who looks to herself for direction. She is represented in this piece as looking into her hands. Her hands emit energy and light.

While this piece was reproduced only on postcards and t-shirts, my plans are to make this into a screenprinted poster. The drawing is huge, measuring over 50 inches in length. Stay tuned for the screenprinted version.
