✨ Story and Meaning
Self-Knowledge is a piece that invites you inward. It represents the intimate and courageous journey of seeing oneself with compassion — embracing imperfections while growing with gentleness and presence. To truly know oneself is both an act of bravery and liberation.

This work expresses the ongoing process of setting boundaries, facing shadows, and evolving in silence. Self-knowledge, often spoken of, only becomes real when practiced daily and deeply. This painting doesn’t offer answers — it becomes a mirror for those willing to look within.

💡 About the Series The Highway
This series explores moments of decision, introspection, and transformation. It reflects the act of moving forward without needing all the answers. The path is long, filled with joy, challenges, and personal breakthroughs — and each journey is uniquely our own.

Inspired by the freedom of abstract art, The Highway is a tribute to color, life, and emotional flow. A sincere, bold, and intuitive series where every brushstroke is a choice.
