Picking up the Pieces is a deeply evocative artwork that delves into themes of healing and acceptance. With the subtitle "make peace with your broken pieces," this piece invites viewers to confront and embrace their past, acknowledging the wounds that life may have left. The artwork powerfully communicates that while the past shapes us, it does not define or break us.

The background, rendered in abstract textures using acrylic paint, contrasts sharply with the realistically depicted red ibis in the foreground. The ibis, a bird steeped in symbolic and spiritual meaning, is portrayed mid-flight, representing the upward trajectory of healing and moving forward. The copper-colored line trailing the ibis symbolizes the ascent towards a brighter future, free from the shackles of the past.

The artwork captures the essence of hope, resilience, and the courage to move on. The ibis, with its ancient associations with wisdom and mystery, serves as a reminder that, like this bird, we too can rise above our past and find freedom in acceptance.
