All the Selves I've Held

This work represents a single woman across time. The child, the adolescent, & the adult exist together, bound by memory rather than chronology. Each form carries what the previous one endured; pain, learning, tenderness, & survival. Strength here is not sudden; it is sedimented. It is built from everything that was lived, lost, & remembered. This is resilience without drama, memory without nostalgia, strength without aggression, womanhood without explanation. To stand strong is not to forget, but to hold all versions of the self at once & remain.
