For this group of nine artworks in my 100-day project, I took a different approach—starting with scraps and turning them into something meaningful.
It all began with a snippet roll, a long, layered piece of mixed media made from paper, tissue, and fabric. I then transformed it into individual pieces, each carrying a unique message.
Through this process, I found a story unfolding—one of adventure, courage, and self-belief.

Day 28 - And So the Adventure Begins
Every great journey starts with a single step. This piece represents that exciting moment when you decide to embrace the unknown, stepping forward with curiosity and an open heart.
Day 29 - Start Doing Things You Love
So often, we get caught up in obligations and forget to make time for what truly lights us up. This artwork is a gentle nudge to follow passion, joy, and creativity without guilt.
Day 30 - You Are Capable of Becoming More Than You Realize
Growth is not always visible, but it’s happening. Even when we doubt ourselves, we are evolving. This piece is a reminder to trust in our own potential, even when we can’t yet see the full picture.
Day 31 - Trust Your Crazy Ideas
Some of the best things in life come from ideas that seem wild or impossible at first. This piece celebrates the beauty of imagination and the courage to explore uncharted creative paths.
Day 32 - Exist to Be Happy, Not to Impress
It’s easy to fall into the trap of seeking validation from others. This piece is about breaking free from that mindset and focusing on what brings inner happiness, rather than external approval.
Day 33 - Take Risks
Comfort zones feel safe, but true growth happens when we dare to step outside of them. This artwork is about embracing uncertainty, knowing that every risk we take has the potential to lead to something amazing.
Day 34 - Believe in Yourself
Self-doubt is the biggest obstacle to achieving our dreams. This piece serves as a powerful affirmation that we are capable, worthy, and stronger than we think.
Day 35 - Rise and Shine
Every new day is a chance to show up, to bring our light into the world. This artwork embodies the energy of fresh starts and the power of choosing to shine, no matter what challenges arise.
Day 36 - With Brave Wings She Flies
When we trust ourselves, when we embrace our strength, we gain the freedom to soar. This final piece ties everything together—a celebration of courage, resilience, and transformation.

What started as a simple exercise in using up scraps became something so much more—a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Each piece tells a part of the story, and together, they weave a message of adventure, courage, and stepping into one’s true potential.
