Description
This art piece explores healing, rest, and a journey towards inner peace. This particular illustration is important to me personally, as I struggled to allow myself to rest and enjoy life at a slow pace whilst struggling with anorexia. The woman is in a restful position, in harmony with her body and with nature, symbolic of healing. The ladybird represents youth and good luck, and the cat represents a loving, loyal companion (and is actually my cat, who my mom declared as my "healing cat" when I was in recovery!) The tree symbolises growth and wisdom, and the flowers are symbolic of new seasons and new beginnings. The fairy emerging from the smoke represents the spiritual and/or magic, as my spirituality
was also an important asset to my recovery from anorexia.
