Soft Inheritance
36" x 48"
Acrylic on canvas
September 2026
Surrounded by softness and abundance, my daughter embodies the joy and security I have worked to give her. Her happiness fills me with pride, but also with a tender envy for the childhood experiences I did not have. The painting considers the complicated line between providing and overindulging, while asking whether giving our children “more” is an act of consumption, love, generational healing or all three.

![Happy 7 years to @do.what_moves.you 🤍✨
Couldn’t help but create a flashback edit of this journey! 🥹
.

I grew up learning Bharatanatyam from the age of four and for the longest time, that was the only kind of dance form I knew. Even when I danced to western or folk at work events, I was always told I had a “classical touch.” My movements were rigid, my energy was low, I lacked flow and honestly I was hesitant and far from confident.
Then came October 17th 2019, the day I decided to document my dance journey here on Instagram, not knowing where it would take me. I just knew I wanted to get better.
And I kept going. ❤️
Through learning from youtube videos, online classes during the pandemic, countless hours of practice, experimenting with different styles, creating my own choreographies, attending dance workshops, pushing my boundaries and showing up even when progress felt slow.
Somewhere along the way, I found more than just better movement. I found freedom, expression and a confidence I didn’t have when I started.
And this is exactly what @do.what_moves.you has always meant to me. To follow what moves you, keep showing up for it and let it transform you in ways you never imagined.
7 years in. Still learning. Still growing. Still moving. And I am nowhere near done. 🥹❤️🧿 I’m thankful to all my teachers and grateful for all my cheerleaders. 🫂✨
