Growing My Wings

Growing My Wings
Originally uploaded by TonyaA

This piece is an observance of growth and progress.
The numbers represent time while the branches on the tree represent moments, choices, victories, and failures along the way. The butterfly is an essence of being and living through the process. Sometimes our wings can get broken and disfigured during the process. This is when we must remember to look within ourselves and know that we can make it through; we can achieve our dreams. We must not doubt our ability to grow past our failures and insecurities. And each time we do grow past them, our wings get stronger. And soon they will get so strong that there will be nothing we can't just fly right through.
