Inspired by my mother, who sadly passed at 55. Her loss shook me deeply and I struggled with depression. This sleeve embodies the concept that life's imperfections are what make it beautiful. It visually narrates my journey through pain and hardship, showcasing the strength I discovered within. These tattoos are a living testament to perseverance. My mother, in her imperfect way, was a pillar of love and strength, raising five children independently. This artwork is a tribute to her legacy.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?These lines would sing of a soul unfurling into exquisite beauty, embodied by a mother whose spirit is woven with magic, love, and gentle kindness. They would echo the profound strength she carries through her human story.
What would you do with the $25,000?My priority with $25,000 would be to amplify my personal brand to intentionally cultivate safe and supportive environments for those impacted by mental health struggles. My journey as a survivor, embracing my disability as a source of strength, fuels my passion to build a platform where others feel seen, understood, and empowered.
