Sarah’s new Series. „We used to know“ is a series about a girl on a journey. A journey through herself.

She carries dreams she knows are worth protecting. Because the world is loud and fast and takes a lot without asking.

The series reminds of lightness. Of trust. Of knowing, the way kids know, that things can work out.

People who are quiet often carry the greatest thoughts within them. And in this fast, loud world, we sometimes overlook that. When did you last truly listen?

A reminder to believe in flying again. She sits on his shoulders, her hands over his eyes. Not to take away his sight but to give him a different one. She still believes. In flying. In possibilities. In paths you don’t always understand right away. While we grown-ups calculate and doubt, she simply lifts off. Maybe we don’t always need to see more. Maybe we need to learn to see differently again. With the heart. With trust. With that childlike courage that says: Come, let me show you something.

The dragon symbolizes the inner strength that protects and carries us. The part that keeps going and stands firm. No matter what happens and no matter what you’re going through. The paper kite represents freedom, lightness and the courage to look upward.

As a child, you simply trust. No doubt. No questions. No fear. You hold your father’s hand and believe the world is good. That people are honest. That promises mean what they say. Then you grow older. And suddenly trust is no longer a given. It becomes a decision. A risk. A weight. This image holds that moment. She still holds his hand. The kite still flies. But the question will come.

When I was a kid, I had a dream. A big one. And somewhere along the way, the world got loud. Too loud. And the dream got quiet. I think a lot of us know that feeling. This piece came from a moment where I decided to stop listening to the noise. A little girl, an astronaut suit, and one question painted across the canvas: who says I can’t? She’s looking right at you. She’s not asking for permission. She’s just asking: do you still remember yours?

There are moments when everything sits inside you. Words, thoughts, feelings. You know exactly what you would say. How it would sound. What it would mean.

But you stay silent.

Not because you have nothing to say. But because you know no one is really listening.

I grew up with chances I didn’t earn.

Not everyone gets that. And I think about it more than I talk about it.

This girl isn’t me. But she carries something of me. She’s wearing old goggles and the sky behind her isn’t bright. She’s been through things. You can see it in her face.

But she’s still looking up.

I painted her because that kind of quiet courage deserves to be seen.
