I let myself sink in a black hole of self-doubt. Then this piece saved me.

I had a lot of pauses during the process. Every now and then I'd let my thoughts settle and meditate, as I drew the little lines in the feathers and the petals. These blue hues and quiet movements helped restore my peace of mind.

The heron symbolizes inner wisdom, which keeps me going during moments of insecurities.

If you ever feel unsure or lost, I hope it will remind you to trust your judgment and potential too.
