II. The Motherland

Before we understand ourselves, we inherit stories.

(SO LA Original XII The Motherland Label) 

The Motherland explores the earliest relationships that shape our understanding of love, belonging, nurture, identity, and home. It isn't about blaming, but rather recognizing the patterns we inherit so they no longer have to be carried unconsciously into the future.

Inspired in part by Tippi Hedren's extraordinary story of resilience following her experience on Birds, and with Alfred Hitchcock, and dedicated in loving memory of my Aunt Joanne, this candle honors the courage required to reclaim your own story.

Supporting Cancer Schmancer, it reflects the belief that awareness, education, and compassionate prevention have the power to change lives for generations to come.
