You weren’t meant to live small.

But the world’s noise keeps telling you to shrink—trade meaning for motion, depth for distraction.
Thorns and Tenderness is the antidote: beauty with edge, purpose grown through resistance.

When purpose fades, pain rushes in to take its place.
This piece reminds you—your roots still know direction.
Even in the dark, something inside you still reaches toward light.

Trust: archival/fade-resistant inks • 1.5″ gallery-wrap • ready to hang • printed in-country
Proof: rose-thorn textures and blurred motion engineered to represent duality—pain and compassion, grit and grace

False belief to break: you need to “find” your purpose—no; you forge it.
Strength you can hang.

This image — Thorns and Tenderness — was created to represent the balance between resistance and softness, the quiet fight to stay human in a world running on autopilot.
I named it Thorns and Tenderness because both belong—protection and sensitivity, strength and care—each side completing the other.
