BECOMING - Contemporary Mixed Media Bead Mosaic by Maria Laura Art

BECOMING

2026

24 x 36 in.

Bead Mosaic with bugle beads, glass crystals, and spray paint on canvas.

Becoming emerged from an exploration of renewal and transformation. Rising against a quiet, moonlit sky, the phoenix becomes a symbol of resilience, movement, and the gradual release of what no longer belongs.

Rather than presenting rebirth as a single moment, the work reflects transformation as an unfolding process—something that develops through time, change, and the courage to move toward what comes next.
