The Power Within

With windswept hair like firelight and a gaze that meets the soul, she stands suspended in a dream between worlds—soft, fierce, and untamed. Her ruffled gown of blush and coral petals dissolves into the ether, becoming part of the atmosphere that swirls around her.

A delicate blue wren flutters at her back, tethered not by restraint, but by thread—stitched into her spirit. It speaks of intuition, playfulness, and the hidden songs that guide us from within. This bird, native and symbolic, appears as a companion of freedom, stitching wildness into grace.

The sky behind her blooms in washes of apricot, rose, and celestial blue—a canvas of emotional colour where energy moves like breath. Faint markings, threads, and symbols drift through the background like whispers from another time.

The Power Within is an ode to feminine strength, softness, and the spaces between memory and magic. She is both muse and messenger—a portrait of becoming.
