This painting was recreated in 2026 from a drawing of mine in 2012. For me, it represents my childhood and the feeling of being completely lost in the world around me, unsure of where I belonged.
Growing up surrounded by chaos meant learning to be responsible and becoming an adult far too quickly. I often felt unseen, unheard and too small to carry what life was asking of me. I was expected to just get on with it… which I did.
I’m grateful now for many of the lesson’s life has given me, but gratitude doesn’t mean overlooking the child who had to learn them too soon. She still deserves light, a voice, and reassurance.
A reminder that being lost never meant she didn’t belong.
