"Untethered" Original Mixed Media Mosaic on 16x16 Wood Canvas

I discovered the sky was not above me,

but waiting quietly within,

crossing valleys of memory,

fields of longing,

the unfinished landscapes

Of wild possibility.

for the hidden current
moving beneath all things.

The one that carries rivers to the sea.

The one that teaches the eagle
the shape of seasons.

I wonder how much of my life
has been spent gripping the branch,

when all along

the sky
was asking for trust.

Untethered is about the moment we realize that what we've been searching for isn't somewhere out there, but already lives within us. Inspired by the image of an eagle perched high above the world, it reflects on the tension between holding on and trusting what calls us forward.

The eagle becomes a symbol of possibility, reminding us that sometimes the hardest part isn't finding our wings, it's letting go of the branch.

Built on a 16x16 wood canvas, this mixed media mosaic brings together iridescent dichroic glass, layered textures, real 24K gold, and painted form. As the light hits it, the surface shifts, revealing different tones and reflections throughout the day. It’s the kind of piece that keeps revealing itself over time.

Every element is placed by hand using high quality Golden and Liquitex acrylics, Swiss crayons, and real glass mosaic. No part of it can be duplicated, making this a true collectible.

The artwork is sealed with varnish and grout sealant to preserve its color, texture, and integrity for years to come. It arrives ready to hang with a secure wood backing and installed hardware. D rings are installed on this piece to distribute the weight evenly. 

Included with your piece is a certificate of authenticity, poetry, and a handwritten letter with a wax seal.

If you’re drawn to artwork that feels alive, layered, and meaningful, this piece will hold that space in your home.

Carefully packaged and shipped with protection to ensure it arrives safely.
