„You Already Are“

„You Already Are“, 2025

Mixed media, found nest, wood, handpainted paper, lace, cord, jute, natural stones

30 x 35 x 24 cm

A sculptural meditation on presence, protection, and quiet return.

This piece combines a found bird’s nest, cradled in a forked branch shaped like a heart, with textured lace, painted cord, and prayer-like paper flags. Three small stones — gold, turquoise, and clear — rest within the nest, like eggs holding what is already whole.

You Already Are reflects the gentle path back to one’s natural rhythm. Inspired by Eastern traditions of mending and imperfection, it offers a visual expression of The Gentle Way — a philosophy of living rooted in simplicity, care, and the beauty in the broken.
