This painting signifies the inner struggles I deal with, when I do what I need to do in order to thrive in life. Painting this work, has been such a struggle for me - and I´m still not sure if I managed to pull it off. I could work on it for 2 more years and still not know for sure. I´m intensely challenged between wanting to do nice work while taming my own raw nature doing so - it somehow got the upper hand in this work. It's my double struggle as a woman that shines through in the images of the two fairies. The fearless one who tames the owl and steers it to success, and the private one, who yearns to focus on the optimistic and beautiful sides of life, while being surrounded by wolves who are ready to attack at any time.
