This art piece features the shape of Texas, rendered in radiant gold leaf, set against a layered background of blush, red, and gold hues. The colors blend together, symbolizing the complexity of my journey—hesitation, growth, and the unexpected beauty found in returning to a place I once resisted. To the side, the word Home. is elegantly inscribed in cursive, a quiet yet powerful statement of acceptance, even in uncertainty. For those who know me well, Texas was never where I imagined planting roots, but God had other plans, leading me back to a place I once sought to leave behind. Though I still don’t know if Texas is my permanent home, this piece reflects how my experience here has reshaped its meaning in my life. The gold leaf embodies the richness of the growth I’ve undergone, a testament to the unexpected blessings that have emerged from surrendering to a plan greater than my own. Through this piece, I embrace the tension between the past and present, knowing that home is not just about a place, but about the journey of becoming.
