In **_The Hands of a Healer_**, a woman floats in the fetal position, cradling a glowing rose; the fragile, luminous emblem of self-preservation. Behind her, Death stands as both witness and guide, offering the painful yet necessary gift of renewal. Before her, a mirror reflects her sorrow, lungs shimmer with the rhythm of breath and change, and her inner child holds a crow, a symbol of innocence, vigilance, and the parts of us that must be nurtured and protected.

This painting weaves together the essential elements of healing: the confrontations we must face with trauma, the tenderness of our inner child, and the guidance of death as a transformative force. The rose embodies the conscious choice to preserve and honor oneself. The crow in her child’s hands reminds us of vulnerability and wisdom, the delicate balance of innocence and strength. Death’s hands offer release, the letting go required to move forward.

Between body, mind, and spirit, _The Hands of a Healer_ captures the cyclical, sacred process of renewal, illustrating the intricate dialogue between loss, protection, and the courage it takes to heal fully.

The Hands of a Healer

In **_Cultural Burning_**, a woman stands engulfed in flames, her chest pulled open to reveal blooming roses; symbols of growth, resilience, and beauty born from pain. She is rooted to the earth, bound like a tree that must burn to renew itself; as the forest rises from ashes, so too does she. Four ethereal ravens circle around her, spirit guides and protectors, witnessing and guiding her through this transformative ordeal.

Her eyes spill tears, yet her face is stripped to bone, an expression of surrender and transcendence rather than flesh. She embraces this necessary death under the cloak of night, a ritual of destruction and rebirth, reminding us that from fire and loss, strength and renewal emerge.
