It’s hard to describe what it feels like to be in deep grief while stepping into a space meant for creativity and connection. But instead of holding it all in, I decided to pour that pain into my work.This piece is for her. I used all the colors she was to me; bright, warm, bold, soft. She was every shade of love and strength I’ve ever known. I painted many birds, each one looking upwards toward the sky. They carry my sorrow, but also my hope. They’re symbols of her spirit; free, eternal, always in motion.Through every spraycan stroke, I held her close. This is how I mourn, and this is how I heal.The piece now has a place in Fushë-Arrës, and I was deeply moved by the response. People said it brought them joy, that it was vibrant and full of happiness. I never expected my grief to have such a bright reflection. But art has a way of transforming, doesn't it? https://streetart.media/f/ff911215-d68b-41d5-b648-685037b01141/1024.jpg 1024 480 480 <iframe src="https://streetartcities.com/markers/38782702-54e6-4c00-afe0-b4df6bbbab7e/embed" width="480" height="480" style="border:none;border-radius:12px;max-width:100%;" loading="lazy" allow="fullscreen; storage-access" title="Skyward love by ELF"></iframe> 3600
