About the Artwork

I Carry My Own Sunshine comes from a place of learning to create your own light. There are times when warmth, care, or recognition don’t come from outside, and you have to build them from within. For me, this work is about the discipline of selfbelief, the quiet work of holding yourself steady when it would be easier to fade. It’s not about denying difficulty, but about refusing to let it take away what is mine. That light (our own sunshine) is something we protect fiercely, because it’s what carries us through.
