In She Started In Another Way, a lone figure stands beneath a hovering rain cloud, yet instead of being cast in darkness, their face glows with an almost otherworldly illumination. The contrast between the storm above and the light within suggests a departure from convention—this is not a figure weighed down by struggle but one shaped by it, transformed through resilience.

The rain, often associated with sorrow or difficulty, takes on a different meaning here. It does not extinguish the light; instead, it nourishes it. The piece explores the idea that growth often comes from discomfort, that breaking away from expected paths allows for a deeper, more personal evolution. There is no resistance to the rain—only acceptance, as if the figure has chosen to embrace their own storm, letting it wash away what no longer serves them.

This work invites viewers to reflect on their own moments of renewal. How do we frame our struggles? Do we see them as setbacks, or as necessary steps toward transformation? What happens when we start in another way—one that isn’t dictated by fear, but by the willingness to embrace the unknown?
