Soon I Will Fly

Symbolic mixed media painting of birds perched on a wire, exploring fear, growth, and the courage required to change.

Silhouetted birds gather along a wire beneath a luminous green sky. Text woven subtly into the line reads, “I am not my mistakes… soon I will truly fly.” Some birds cling tightly to the familiar perch while others open their beaks toward unseen energy above, as if preparing for transformation.

The work reflects the human tendency to remain attached to safety even when growth calls elsewhere. The wire represents comfort and limitation simultaneously—a place of rest that can become confinement. Flight requires release: letting go of self-imposed narratives and trusting unseen possibility. The painting frames transformation not as sudden escape but as gradual readiness to become what one was meant to be.
