The Work of Becoming
Exploring who we are, what we hide, and who we're becoming.
The Work of Becoming grew out of my interest in Stoicism and a more recent curiosity about Carl Jung's ideas. The more I learned and sat with those ideas, the more I wanted to give them a visual form.
What it explores
Who we are. What we hide. Who we're becoming.
The collection explores how we understand ourselves, what we hide, what deserves our energy, and how we live with uncertainty.
It reflects the willingness to look inward, question familiar patterns, and acknowledge parts of ourselves we might prefer to avoid.
The larger idea is self-awareness, identity, acceptance, and how we choose to grow, drawing from Stoicism and Carl Jung's ideas, with room for the pieces still to come.
The paintings
Every painting, a different part.
Each painting takes on a different part of the work of becoming, from who we are, to what we hide, to who we're becoming.
The story behind each one lives in its product description.
Browse the paintingsThe work of becoming is learning to see ourselves honestly, make room for what we’ve hidden, and choose who we become without waiting to feel whole.
Why black and white
Space to speak.
Working in black and white gives those ideas space to speak. The rough lines, drips, and imperfections belong to that expression.
Personal growth can be uncomfortable, uneven, and hard to recognize while it's happening. I wanted to make something that leaves room for that experience.
