This young girl is small, almost weightless, yet her presence carries great urgency. Like the canaries once taken underground to warn miners of invisible dangers, she embodies a rare sensitivity—an ability to sense harm before it fully arrives.

Her vulnerability is not weakness but an offering: a reminder that those who are attuned, tender, and perceptive often guide us toward safety and survival. She stands as a symbol of warning, but also of hope—for in listening to the voices of the most delicate among us, we find the wisdom to change course.

Canary in the Coal Mine is a meditation on the strength of sensitivity, the necessity of awareness, and the quiet resilience of those who seem least protected. She reminds us that our future depends not on ignoring the vulnerable, but on listening to and honoring them.
