Your point on how work routines push back hobbies and creative arts hit me. I think there is much to be derived from the practice /enjoyments of arts, if done more communally, not only for children but for all ages.
You're right figen, we give up play far too early in life. Thankfully this is starting to shift slightly but a long way to go. These creative hobbies of any sort are what make us human 🙌❤️
This hit me on so many levels. Thank you so much for sharing! Also I love that poured acrylics became your doorway back in. Sometimes it's just a case of experimenting until you find something that feels good.
Macro photography has been my favourite doorway back into my creative practice through my experience of grief - my mum has young-onset Alzheimer’s so it's been a 5+ year journey of grieving what was lost but still having to show up every day. Finding the entire universe reflected in water droplets etc has helped me so much. I guess sometimes it's all just about changing our perspective to match our changes inside 💜
Glad it resonated Cassie and that you found a creative way to process what's going on. I feel for you with your mum - Alzheimer's abs similar illnesses are so tough and painful. Multiple losses even if the person is still physically there - it's unbelievably challenging. Would love to see your photos - your description of water droplets is so evocative. And spot on - we search for internal and external alignment. ❤️
Beautiful piece, Sabrina! Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your process of grief. I love how art has helped you and how you now use it to help others. Keep lowering the ladder. We humans all need a way up, even if the way process is never the same.

Thanks for your kind words and encouragement Diantha. Once we find what helps us, we want to share with others. Onwards and upwards 🚀🙌
