Softening Into Light 
“Be melting snow - wash yourself of yourself.” - Rumi

8 × 10 mixed media artwork encased in UV-resistant resin by MacKenzie J. D. Brown, Billings, Montana.
A faintly rendered face emerges through layers of pigment, paper, and translucent depth, suspended in resin like a held breath. This piece reflects surrender rather than erasure, where identity loosens, boundaries soften, and what remains is a quieter, truer presence allowed to come forward.
