“Struggling to Emerge” explores the isolation we endure while healing or surviving difficult experiences. The cocoon form symbolizes a state of stillness, where pain brews quietly, but growth begins. It represents the vulnerability of being trapped within oneself, yet also the possibility of emerging transformed. It is about holding space for quiet evolution. "I am breaking down, not to end, but to begin again. Like the caterpillar dissolving into silence, I am becoming something I’ve never been. This pain is not the end of me. It’s the becoming." – Sarine.K
