About this collection :
The Gilded Wayfinders is inspired by moths - quiet navigators of the night that have followed the light for millions of years. Though often overshadowed by butterflies, moths possess an extraordinary ability to travel through darkness, guided not by certainty, but by instinct.
To me, they represent those seasons of life when the path ahead isn't fully visible. The moments when we take the next step anyway, trusting an inner compass that quietly reminds us to keep moving forward.
Each moth is one of a kind, celebrating the beauty found in resilience, curiosity, and transformation. Layer by layer, every paper collage reflects the delicate balance between vulnerability and strength - the courage to explore, adapt, and find light even in unfamiliar places.
When someone connects with one, it becomes more than art - it becomes a reminder that not every journey is meant to be walked in daylight. Sometimes our greatest growth happens in the quiet, as we learn to trust our own way home.
