The Artwork

From an original oil painting of a girl with a balloon in her hand. Other balloons float away around her. Why doesn't she let go of the last balloon?

"When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be" - an inspirational quote from Lao Tzu, ancient Chinese philosopher.

So why do we cling to things that hold us back? Perhaps it's for comfort or fear of the unknown.

In this thought provoking piece a girl in a green dress clutches one last balloon. She has let go of the others, they are all green. But this balloon is different, it is special, it is brown. Letting go will be hard but necessary if she wants to move forward.
