The high of hope in belonging *-* 50.75 x 40.25 cm

This piece was inspired by sunsets and fireworks. The idea was to capture a feeling so I could evoke a feeling to the viewer. After always feeling left out and unwanted or ignored in all aspects of my life I realised why for so many years was I settling in spaces I didn't belong, with people who didn't want me there. This harmed my self image, self confidence and self worth. To find my worth again I decided to find my place and let go of what wasn't mine. The feeling of freedom from what once bounded me down for so long was such a great feeling. I may not have found my place straight away but the hope of belonging and the slow journey of finding my people, gaining my hope back in society is such an amazing feeling. To have the world in your hands, to finally believe in yourself and see your worth, such a high everyone should experience, I want to share this with the world.
