Artist’s Note:
“In Under the Sky of Becoming, I wanted to capture the feeling of patient growth, of life blossoming quietly in its own time. This painting reflects the process of becoming—of transformation that happens deep within, often unseen, like seeds waiting in the dark earth until the warmth of the sun calls them forth. Inspired by the resilient bloom of wildflowers, it is a meditation on hope’s gentle persistence, the way it waits, rises, and pushes through against all odds.
This field of flowers is a reminder that we, too, are constantly becoming, always growing toward the light, even in seasons of stillness. Every petal that unfolds is an affirmation of life, a testament to the power of waiting and the quiet strength of faith. My hope is that this piece will inspire you to embrace your own journey of becoming, trusting that the light you seek is always coming, always rising within.”
Under the Sky of Becoming
There is a field, somewhere inside us all,
Where hope blooms like wildflowers,
Untamed by the weight of winter’s chill.
The earth remembers each seed,
Cradled in the dark, the unseen,
Waiting—oh, how we wait—
For the sun to call us out of hiding.
Hope rises, a quiet rebellion,
Defiant against the frost that lingers,
Pushing through the soil,
Not hurried, but steadfast,
Like a whisper of dawn breaking through the night.
And isn’t that how we grow?
Isn’t that how we heal?
We are the flowers,
Longing for the light,
And the light is always coming.
Even when the shadows linger,
Even when we cannot yet see it—
It is there, rising within us,
As sure as the stars that fade into morning.
The bloom of hope is the triumph of waiting,
Of holding faith in the unseen.
We are becoming, always becoming,
And every petal that unfurls
Is a prayer answered in its time.
— Emily Shay
Let Beneath the Sky of Becoming remind you of the strength in patience, the beauty in waiting, and the quiet power of hope that grows within, just as wildflowers bloom in fields unseen. We are all becoming, held gently by the earth and guided by the light that is always, always coming.
