Little by little, over the past month I added details on the blank space each time I felt torn down by the news of current events – full of injustice, loss and despair. At times it got to a point where I sensed a small guilt in my heart for enjoying small happiness, while the world around me was suffering. I forgot to be kind to myself.

This piece carries my love and hope for better days and represents my own form of self-compassion and my cozy zone. Every element has a special meaning to me and reflects the glimmer of hope I’m holding dear – that eventually everything can only get better.
