Collection: Two Halves of The Same Whole Collection

within us all, there is a coexistence. there are the parts we cherish deeply, we parade externally because we have polished them, we are proud of them; and the parts that we tuck away and hide, maybe even judge. our shadow; we pretend it is not there as best as we can. but as the day passes by, we witness and experience both parts of ourselves, internally. and while it may be difficult to do, by accepting both halves of ourselves, without judgment, we are able to love more deeply. from a true place, we are able to see that we too are just a human, doing what we think is best. and the judgement we assign to others is just a reflection of our own inability to accept the parts of ourselves that we are not fond of. this collection is an ode to my shadow, my inner darkness, that makes me human; and my journey to love that version of me, even though it may not appear to be polished and beautiful.
