The Winged Goddess is created on a vintage minky pink 1988 Town Plan/Map of Kleinmond, a coastal town in the Overberg of Cape Town, I currently live in Kleinmond, so it makes this one extra special. The paper has a lot of character due to age. Remember “the flying dream” you had... In the dream, we fly on our own, our arms held out to our sides like huge wings, soaring like great, wild birds. This is for the women with wings, the ones who have perhaps forgotten that they can fly. The women who sit with budded hopes beneath the starry sky, their alabaster wings tucked beneath the armor they’ve had to grow in order to live the life others have expected from them. The thing to remember is that even if your wings are dusty or battered with bruises from love that never turned out as planned, they still work. They are just waiting for you to remember how to use them. In this life, it seems we are all born knowing how to fly, however, others clip our wings at the first chance they get, distraught by our freedom and by our blatant resistance to be just one of the masses. And so, we forget that regardless of who we are or what our families told us we should become in life, the thing that we were most meant to do is fly. To stretch our wings up to the sun-filled sky and set ourselves free, flying toward whatever sets our souls on fire. Women with wings don’t wait for the perfect time, but instead make this moment as perfect as they can. They don’t sit around dreaming of someday, instead, they take today and make it one that they will remember forever. So, spread your wings. Because there’s no one better suited to rescue others from a life of monotony than a woman who has learned the strength and beauty she possesses within the power of her own wings, in the uniqueness she has possessed since the day she was born.
