I did not understand why she was doing it, and it was hard to hear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen one day I was passing in front of the school during break time and I stopped. I saw Clara sitting all by herself, alone, while the teachers were talking among themselves and all the other kids were running and playing. Nobody was with her. Nobody even seemed to notice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn that moment my heart broke. I understood everything. I could not go in and fix it, I could not change what was happening, and that feeling of watching your child in pain and not being able to do anything about it, that is something I will never forget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rocks were her way of saying, I am here, I exist, please see me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom that day we were able to talk to her, to understand her better, and slowly help her find other ways to carry that pain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis painting is purple and yellow and pink, big and bold and impossible to ignore, just like Clara. And those little black dots scattered all over, those are the rocks, still there, because that pain was real. But look how much color there is around them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis artwork is for you, because we see you. And we know that sometimes you have felt exactly like Clara felt in that playground, invisible, left out, too much and not enough at the same time. You are so much more than that moment. And you always were.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOnce Upon\u003c\/strong\u003e is the collection where Clara went back to all of it. You will notice something different here. There is black in almost every piece, which is not something Clara usually does. That black is the hard parts, the struggles, the moments that were heavy. But the colors are so much bigger, so much louder, they take over everything. That is the whole point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcrylic on canvas — Serial Number CW1206, 2026 — 40×30\" (102×76 cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clara Woods Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48294564462814,"sku":"CW1206","price":1280.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0488\/0701\/8661\/files\/CW1206_Rocks_wall_sq_1.jpg?v=1780192690","url":"https:\/\/www.clarawoodscollection.com\/products\/rocks-original","provider":"Clara Woods Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
