She is watching over me by Mashatik in Vancouver

Over the span of four years, this painting has evolved alongside me, through the seasons of my life, through moments of joy, struggle, and quiet reflection. In her—who watches—I see a part of myself. She’s the steady presence within, quietly observing, holding space, nurturing my growth. Through the interwoven colors and shapes, she reflects the resilience that has carried me through life’s challenges, gently guiding me back to wholeness. This piece is a reminder that even in the chaos, there is something constant and wise, looking after me, supporting me with every beat.
