Before

Part of my Flowerfly Series, the stages of grief expanded. Denial gives the psyche a buffer. It allows us to slowly digest the reality of loss. Transformation comes through allowing the truth to settle into our body and beginning to find safety in facing it.The first piece in the Flowerfly series. Before you know what's coming. Before the ground shifts.Watercolor mixed media on paper, 11x14 inches. Original by Jane the Stranger. Part of the Flowerfly series — nine watercolor mixed media pieces mapping the stages of grief and the path through them. Each piece was made to hold a feeling most people don't have words for.
