Painting #3 in the Metamorphosis series.
Chapter 1: The Awakening

Tender Becoming inhabits the fragile space between identities. The heroine has shed the beliefs that once shaped her life, yet the person she is becoming has not fully emerged. Without the armor of those old stories, she stands open and vulnerable. This painting reflects the quiet courage required to remain present in the in-between—where uncertainty and possibility exist side by side.
