About The Artwork: 

"True Identity" is a powerful black and white illustration capturing a hand emerging from a mountainous landscape. The hand, adorned with stars and releasing more stars into the sky, serves as the focal point of this evocative artwork. 

The hand is a powerful symbol of human agency, creativity, and connection. In "True Identity," the hand represents the ability to shape one's destiny and the intrinsic human drive to reach out and connect with the universe. Covered in stars, the hand embodies the idea of being infused with cosmic energy, suggesting that each individual holds a universe within themselves.

Mountains in the background symbolize resilience, stability, and the challenges one must overcome. They are a reminder of the formidable obstacles that life presents and the strength required to surmount them. The emergence of the hand from these peaks signifies triumph over adversity, a testament to human endurance and the pursuit of higher aspirations.

Stars, both on the hand and being released from it, signify hope, inspiration, and the infinite possibilities that lie ahead. They highlight the boundless potential within each person and the capacity to bring light into the world. The act of releasing stars suggests that by embracing our true identity, we can inspire and illuminate the paths of others.

When these elements are combined, "True Identity" offers a profound narrative about self-discovery and empowerment. The artwork suggests that even from the most challenging and desolate circumstances, one can find beauty and strength. It speaks to the inner cosmos each person carries and the transformative power of realizing and sharing one's true self with the world. This illustration encourages viewers to reflect on their own journey, the challenges they've faced, and the unique light they have to offer.

"Our brightest blazes of gladness are commonly kindled by unexpected sparks." ― Samuel Johnson
