A Thousand Tiny Journeys by Tracy Lee Warusevitane - Like dandelion seeds caught in a breeze, A Thousand Tiny Journeys captures the moment of release—when what once was held close is set free to find its path. Each speck drifts into the vast unknown, a reminder that letting go is not an ending, but the beginning of countless new stories across the infinite expanse.
I have always been drawn to the night sky. Space humbles me, reminding me how small we truly are—and how little our worries matter in the grand scale of things. Yet it also reminds me of our extraordinary luck: to be here, now, alive and aware.
This work is part of my Lucky Specks series—a celebration of our cosmic paradox. We are tiny, almost laughably small… and yet, we are here. We can feel joy, create beauty, and marvel at the stars. Through space-inspired textures, symbolic creatures, and luminous fragments, Lucky Specks invites you to let go of life’s weight and remember how rare and wondrous your existence is.
Visually, A Thousand Tiny Journeys brings release and wonder —blues and pinks blend into the darkness of the nebula, offering the viewer inner peace. Meanwhile, vibrant details of dandelions and stars spark curiosity and conversation. Layers of charcoal, inks, spray paint, modelling paste, acrylics, and rich oils create a textured surface full of depth and complexity. The edges are painted on quality, gallery-wrapped canvas, the surface varnished, and it is ready to hang.
This painting offers more than beauty—it provides space to begin a new story, to let go of what no longer serves and to find a new path.
