Becoming honors the quiet strength carried through generations. Layers of Japanese indigo fabric and traditional style sashiko  stitching symbolize ancestral resilience. Butterflies rise around her, representing directional movement, confidence unfolding forward into the present and future, while honoring the past that shaped her. 

Becoming is about evolution without erasure. It reminds us that when we honor our history and uplift one another's voices, we create space for profound strength and collective greatness in this beautiful world.
