I’m excited to finally be hanging one of my original pieces, Standing Tall, in our new home.
Standing Tall was created for anyone who has ever felt criticised, resented or judged for succeeding, dreaming big, or simply trying their best.
As Australians, we know the phrase “Tall Poppy Syndrome” all too well. Sometimes it can feel easier to stay small, keep quiet about our achievements, and avoid standing out altogether.
But this piece is also about choosing a different path.
It’s about celebrating the success of others instead of feeling threatened by it. It’s about cheering people on, making space for them to shine, and recognising that someone else’s success doesn’t diminish our own.
Just as these pressed flowers continue to stand tall long after being cut, I hope this artwork reminds people to embrace who they are, pursue what they’re called to do, and encourage others to do the same.
