This illustration was created as part of the Intentionally Illustrated Challenge hosted by Maggie Stephenson ( @_maggiestephenson_ ) in November 2025.

The illustration is about the moment you realize you've outgrown something that once felt right. It might be a routine, an environment, or simply an old version of yourself. I wanted to capture that quiet shift when you begin to trust your own desire for change. The outer figure has her eyes closed, while the inner one looks ahead with curiosity, ready to step into something new. I used cool blues for the surrounding figures to suggest the past, while the warmer morning colours and open space hint at a fresh start.
