"Making the Change I" takes its place within the Making Change sub-series, serving as a significant chapter in the visual narrative of transformation. This piece symbolizes the critical juncture where an intention, marked by a color change in the silk column while maintaining the pattern, transitions into tangible change—a break in the established pattern.
Inspired by my personal journey into sobriety, this artwork mirrors the arduous process of making a substantial, positive shift in life. The depiction of setting the intention, where the color shifts but the pattern endures, resonates with the moments of contemplation and decision-making. The subsequent break in the pattern signifies the courageous leap into actualizing change—a reflection of the challenges and efforts involved in making transformative decisions.
