This picture feels like a quiet moment I didn’t plan… just me, sitting in my own space, looking up at something that has always been there.
These magnolias were always part of the story. I never changed them. There was never a second thought about them… they just belonged here from the very beginning.
What did change… was everything around them.
I had started this wall with gold leaf, imagining a certain kind of perfection. But it didn’t work out the way I had hoped. The gold failed, and for a while, it felt like the whole wall had lost its direction.
But I couldn’t let go of it… not this space, not this feeling.
So I reworked it. Not the magnolias, not the essence… just the approach. And slowly, it started coming together in a way that felt more honest, more me.
Magnolias, to me, have always felt like quiet strength. They don’t try too hard, they don’t demand attention… but they hold their place beautifully. There’s a softness in them, but also a kind of resilience that reminds me of what real partnership looks like.
Not perfect, not untouched by failure… but steady, patient, and growing through it all.
The gold is still here… just not in the way I first imagined. It’s in the warmth of the wall, in the calm it brings, in the way this space now feels complete again.
I think that’s what this wall taught me… sometimes you don’t need to change the heart of something. You just need to find a better way to hold it together.
Creativity is more than just being different. Anybody can plan weird; that’s easy. What’s hard is to be as simple as Bach. Making the simple, awesomely simple, that’s creativity.” – Charles Mingus
