Artist Statement: 
Many feminine initiation stories follow the cycle of descent, sojourn, and return. The descent can feel scary, and darkness is always part of it, but keep in mind that you contain a well. This well within you connects you to the deep source of wisdom, intuition, and instinct. Darkness can give rise to transformation. Here is an invitation to connect with this source-- to descend into your depths to discover the boundless well spring there.
