The Unbearable Lightness of Balloons Original Collage
8" x 10" original handcut collage mounted on premium cardstock - Unframed  
 
She only looks delicate.
 
Tethered to a cascade of bright balloons, each one inflated with perception and expectation, and all the versions the world told her she should be.
 
And still, she moves.
 
Refusing to stay stuck in the version of herself the world designed. And one by one, in the landscape that is truly hers, the balloons will pop.
 
The Unbearable Lightness of Balloons speaks to the power of claiming yourself beyond every label, role, or mold imposed upon you. Who we are is more than skin deep, more than what meets the eye, and identity is ours to define. And at any moment, we can let it all go. 
 
Themes:
Defiance of Expectation
Self-Definition and Liberation
Power and Resilience
Transformation and Renewal
Strength Beneath Softness
 
The Unbearable Lightness of Balloons invites you to pop your balloons. And be loud about it.
