Acceptance I is apart of the Acceptance sub series, where I leave broken or purposefully break pieces of silk in the piece. I initially made this piece to represent me and my partner. I am a Cancer (water, blue), he is an Aries (fire, red). I wanted to show us intermixing with our imperfections as a reminder that we are both imperfect, and our imperfections and yin and yang energies mesh to create a full picture. He’s my second long term relationship, so it was difficult for me to accept his imperfections, so creating this piece allowed me to process the feelings I was having. I made this early in our relationship, and I feel it helped me strengthen our relationship.
