What is your inspiration behind this piece?

during a recent visit to bali, i was deeply moved by the spiritual depth of the canang sari, a daily Balinese offering symbolizing gratitude of the world. each morning in bali, these intrinsic offerings are created out of plants and placed outside of businesses and homes. The repeated act of creating these offerings mirrors the journey of healing and recovery- a path that requires daily acts of self-care, gratitude, and the acknowledgement of beauty within oneselF and the world. just as the BALINESE HONOR THE WORLD’S NATURAL GIFTS EACH DAY, WE TOO CAN FIND SOLACE AND HEALING IN THE CONSISTENT PRACTICE OF GRATITUDE, RECOGNIZING THE SMALL YET SIGNIFICANT STEPS WE TAKE TOWARDS RECOVERY AND SELF-LOVE
