August 26, 2018 at 11:29PM Remember two years ago when I first completed my personal project sTRAPPED (2016)? This year I completed a continuation to the project, titled FREEd (2018). Read the inspiration and artist statement below! More pictures to come! Zoom into the picture to see what Little T is up to! . . FREEd (2018) . There’s always something new on the horizon; being a mother is all about embracing the ever-changing challenges of motherhood. My journey as a mum first inspired the creation of “sTRAPPED” in 2016 (https://ift.tt/2NhtkiN). Two years on, the challenges have evolved as my little one - now a toddler, is often on her feet, and naturally seeking independence. One of the biggest challenges in raising children today is dealing with the outside influences of society. Sometimes the instinctive reaction is to protect and shelter our children from these harmful forces that seem beyond our realm of control. The hardest thing is to do sometimes, is to let go, and allow our children to fall, so that they may pick themselves up again. Now free from the restraints of the pram, she is able to fully explore her surroundings - running, jumping, climbing, playing - effectively learning and growing. As she continues to discover this new world, will she be taken in by a new distraction, that will imprison her once more?
