One dream at a time

This large sculpture tells the story of how we actually achieve our dreams - not all at once in some dramatic moment, but through dedication and refusing to give up, one step at a time.

I painted it in three shades of blue to create that calm feeling we need when life gets overwhelming. It's a reminder not to rush through trying to do everything at once. Instead, it encourages us to think about life's different stages and dreams, each one important and beautiful in its own way.

The flowing form shows movement and progress - how our dreams can shift and change, and the quiet strength we need to keep going toward them.

It's so easy to compare ourselves to others, especially scrolling through social media. As we get older, that voice in our head gets louder: "Am I running out of time?" If you've ever felt that pressure, you're definitely not alone.

When you look at this piece, I hope you think about your own dreams and what it really takes to make them happen. Not the fantasy version, but the real work - the showing up day after day, the staying focused when it gets hard, the celebrating small wins along the way.

This artwork is about the power of staying determined and the beauty that comes from growing as a person. It's a reminder that achieving one dream at a time isn't settling for less - it's how real change actually happens.
