Colored pencil, graphite, and ink on paper | 18” x 24”
Becoming is a bold, surreal meditation on transformation, femininity, and the tension between control and evolution. A radiant blue figure, her skin lit from within, tilts her head upward with lips parted—meeting the delicate grasp of one symbolic hand. Her skull is open, revealing a chambered, shell-like brain, from which vibrant butterflies emerge and flutter—symbols of metamorphosis, memory, and awakening.
Intricately patterned white arms extend in all directions—some touching, some pointing, some lingering in gesture. The figure’s luminous skin is traversed by glowing red-blue veins that crawl upward, connecting body to mind, earth to ether.
Rendered in colored pencil, graphite, and India ink, Becoming pulses with life and layered meaning. At 18” x 24”, this piece balances anatomical beauty with psychedelic intensity. Every detail, from the marbled brain to the flutter of a wing, invites introspection.
