The color brown symbolizes one with the earth and ground from which they came.  The brown skin tone, hair, eyes, lips, and lines on her face expresses the wisdom, determination, and will to survive and becoming one within yourself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michael Miller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43822680146023,"sku":null,"price":1770.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/3038\/4487\/files\/1_1779740908_31295.jpg?v=1779978228"},{"product_id":"thoughts-4","title":"Thoughts","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAcrylic on wood canvas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e24x24x1\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Thoughts” is a piece of work I created as an explosion on working in a semi layered environment.
