Unbound

CA$1,950.00

We build walls, strap down our hearts, thinking that we’re safe from hurt that way. But what we are really doing is hiding the beauty inside. “Unbound” explores the tension between protection and vulnerability. The heart, bound tightly with a black belt, symbolizes the walls we build to shield ourselves from pain. Yet, through the cracks, delicate cherry blossoms emerge—representing the beauty, resilience, and life that flourish when we allow ourselves to open up. “Unbound” is a reminder that true strength lies not in containment but in embracing the risk of being seen, allowing our inner beauty to bloom and our hearts to hold the vastness of the universe.

Original Painting - Acrylic on Canvas, 16” X 20”

Available as an original painted canvas, or an archival pigment print on 100% cotton Rag Fine Art paper in 3 sizes.

If you require a print in a custom size, please contact me
