"True North" Original Mixed Media Painting 24x24 Canvas

If you are to lose yourself,
do not scatter into the hands of the world
like pollen unsure of its landing.

There are ways of disappearing
that do not take you away,
but draw you inward,
softening the edges
of your untethered soul.

The wilderness is within you,
it’s held deep in our bones.

We seek freedom,
not as escape,
but as the courage
to remain open
to the call of the horizon.

True North refers to your core values, principles, and beliefs that guide your decisions and actions. Just like a compass always points towards the geographic North Pole, True North represents the direction in which you stay true to yourself and what you believe in, no matter what challenges you face.

The horse is not just an animal here. It is instinct. It is the body’s intelligence. It is the part of us that does not second guess and doesn’t overanalyze. It knows direction without needing to explain why. It is grounded, powerful, and deeply attuned to the present moment.

The relationship between the woman and the horse becomes symbolic: To move outward with purpose, you must first be aligned within. The horse anchors her. He reflects back a version of herself that is unfiltered, unconditioned, and free.

If you are standing at a turning point in your life where something inside you is asking for more truth, more depth, more alignment, then this piece was made for you.
