This shadowbox captures the intimacy and chaos of the creative process. Scattered brushes, tools, and materials reflect the inevitable mess that accompanies creating—evidence of experimentation, revision, and discovery. At the center is a moose sketch, pulled directly from my sketchbook and created during a trip to Colorado earlier this year. These elements honor creation not as a polished outcome, but as a lived, layered process where meaning is found in the work-in-progress.
