Original artwork description:

❤︎ Save it by favoriting it! 🇺🇦 thank you for supporting me and my family in Ukraine.

✒︎ That’s me at the moment. Subtracting everything except myself. No filters or touch-ups, taking away the artist form, the teacher form, the wife form. My nugget is always here inside waiting for my attention. My true essence is beaming inside looking for good things to soak them in. I become lighter and absolutely free to remind myself what it feels like to breathe, create, and be without taking any kind of form. What about you? ©
