This painting of a snail reflects the quiet wisdom of moving through life at your own pace. To me, the snail is a symbol of self-care, reminding us to build nurturing spaces and protect our boundaries. Its shell is not just a home, but a sanctuary—a place of comfort, safety, and resilience. Through this piece, I hope to convey the beauty of stillness, the strength in gentleness, and the importance of creating a life where you feel truly at home.
