Am I worthy—of what I have and what I hope to achieve? The wings on Ami are my response to that question. The words we tell ourselves are powerful: when we own the words “I am enough,” we take charge of our own happiness. For me, to take flight means to pursue things wholeheartedly. This is the everyday person—stripped of all her makeup, lit from within, and making things happen with her hands. She is comfortable in the space she takes up, and her wings are the words that lift her. Approachable, grounded, and wholeheartedly alive.
