Finding the First Breath

“Finding the First Breath” is a piece that uses the combination of collage, “Finding Freedom,” and illustration. Using words and imagery representing freedom and growth; like a cowboy, mitosis, wild flowers, evolution, and more. Encouraging the viewer to grow through life, evolve, and to do that one needs to take the first breath towards that change. Taking a breath to a new life. This thought is assisted by the imagery of the respiratory system. Breathing in and out until this new life surrounds us.
