Emotional Strokes

I’m 28 & I've been creating art my whole life. Each piece is inspired by my thoughts, feelings, and the beauty I see around me. Thank you for supporting my journey—let’s connect through the power of art!

Every time I see my face, I see you. A ghost in the mirror, A shadow that belongs to someone else.

It’s like a dagger pressed Between my ribs, A reminder of all the moments I crave but cannot touch.

Your eyes in mine, Your smile in the curve of my lips— And every time I look, I ache.

I ache for the laughter we won’t share, For the hands I cannot hold, For the presence I cannot feel.

And still, in this reflection, I see you. And I miss you, More than words, more than air, More than my heart can hold.

Duality of self — the energetic exterior vs. the exhausted inner self.
