I created this collage for my goddaughter Dana, who had just graduated from school. It features a young Audrey Hepburn, captured mid-leap in a photograph by Philippe Halsman – pure joy frozen in time. I love this glimpse of a moment when everything still seems possible, the future wide open.
I remember standing at that very threshold myself – finally free from the confines of school, stepping into my own life. It was a time brimming with beginnings, but also shadowed by goodbyes. It scared me, and it took a while until I found my place in the world.
My wish for Dana is that her journey begins a little more gently – filled with joy, courage, and good experiences that will carry her forward.
