There’s a moment – just before control takes over – where curiosity leads.
Where we let ourselves follow color, movement, instinct.
That moment is Free Play.

This piece is a quiet rebellion against perfection. A reminder that joy doesn't always need structure. That creativity, healing, and even clarity often come when we stop trying so hard to get things right.

The upward gaze suggests openness. Light blues and orange drift softly across the surface like thoughts unformed. Hidden in the background, the words Free Play whisper an invitation:

Let go.
Trust the process.
Not everything needs a purpose to be meaningful.
