The Obstacle is the Path

Original coloured pencil on Fine Art Photograph. 

I photograph dresses, this is a detail of a dress, and print it out on thick archival quality paper. Then I draw onto the image using the textures and patterns of the dress to guide me. 

For this, my daughter did the lettering, as I love the clarity and character of children's writing and drawing. 

It says "the obstacle is the path". This means to me, that we should stop fighting what is. Instead, we can grow through adversity, that we can never be broken, and our difficulties are what make us who we are.
