Chronic insecurity doesn’t show up loud.

It shows up in silence — second-guessing every move, apologizing for existing, shrinking so nobody notices the parts of you that feel “not enough.”
You start walking through life like a field of thorns.
Every step feels risky.
Every decision feels wrong.
Every moment feels like someone might judge you, reject you, replace you, or see the parts of you you’re trying to hide.
Thorns & Tenderness hits that exact wound.
The thorned branch = the fears that have shaped you.
The single red rose = the part of you that refuses to die.
The blurred figure = the version of you trying to walk away from the past without knowing how.
The muted tones = the emotional fog that insecurity traps people in.
This piece is built to anchor one truth:
You don’t need to be fearless — you need to stay standing.
It’s not soft art.
It’s a confrontation.
It’s the moment you stop letting insecurity run your life.
The rose is the identity you’re rebuilding.
The thorns are everything you’ve survived.
The space around them is possibility — the room you get back when insecurity stops owning every thought.
Strength you can hang.
