The Dance of Becoming is a visual embodiment of sacred transformation—a portrait of feminine power rising through vulnerability, worship, and creative surrender. Inspired by the tiger lily but blooming in unexpected hues of rose, fuchsia, and gold, this painting defies expectation. It reflects not the typical orange of its namesake, but a more intimate palette that mirrors the artist’s inner journey.

At the center of the bloom, a vertical presence stands—a spiritual figure, an abstract self, poised on the stamen like a soul in worship. It is here, in the core, that the painting speaks its deepest truth: becoming is not a destination, but a sacred act of standing, praising, and allowing oneself to be transformed.

Each sweeping petal pulses with energy, curving outward in motion like breath or dance. The flower’s freckled markings and translucent layers whisper of creativity, resilience, and divine mercy—qualities often hidden, but essential to growth.

This is a painting about presence. About blooming boldly, again and again, even when trimmed. About honoring the dance between softness and strength, joy and discipline, worship and identity. It invites the viewer not just to observe, but to feel—to remember the beauty of their own becoming.
