Let go

The image was created from the question of what happens when you give up control.

The figure opens up to the space.
She no longer holds on and turns towards the unknown.

Resistance is becoming visible.
Going to where the fear is takes courage.

Leaving familiar ground without knowing what is coming.
Opening oneself up to life and following one's own path.

For me, letting go does not mean resignation.
It means trusting one's own inner self.

In its reduction, the work is inspired by Japanese ink wash painting.
