She welcomes you with open feathers to her shimmering kingdom of calm waters. Swimming is her greatest joy—once her biggest fear. Her sister used to tease her for being the slowest in the lake, but through endless practice and determination, she glided past those doubts and became the fastest swimmer of them all. Now, as she gazes over the same waters she once feared as a tiny swan fresh from her egg, her heart swells with pride and love for the home that shaped her.
Inspired by Swan Lake, I created this miniature sculpture to capture her grace and courage. I adorned her with soft pink wings and a silver crown topped with a delicate light pink rose—symbols of her beauty, strength, and the gentle heart that shines from within.
