Chronicles of Becoming

This painting is a visual allegory of my journey as a woman carrying the weight of time, responsibility, and creation with quiet dignity. It was born from moments of being overwhelmed—balancing the roles of wife, mother, daughter, friend, and mentor—yet lifted by faith.

The central figure embodies surrender: she does not master time, but entrusts it to God. The melting clock draped across her shoulder reminds us that time is fragile and fleeting, while the butterfly resting upon it speaks of transformation through grace. Her hands, marked with tattoos, carry the stories of service and sacrifice. Dusts of gold shimmer across her body, signifying divine presence and resilience.

She climbs the ladder to the galaxy, holding gold not as wealth but as wisdom, faith, and offering. Above her shines the golden star—her destined light, the promise of God’s guidance. Flowers bloom alongside gears, showing that strength and softness coexist, that beauty is born even from labor.

This is not only a portrait of a woman, but a confession of surrender: that in time, she will bloom, in time, she will transform, in time, she will shine as God wills her to be.
