Reluctant Trust explores the fragile intersection between fear and faith. A wolf snarls, teeth bared, while a human hand reaches out—steady, unflinching, illuminated against a field of burnished gold. The tension between them is electric: a test of instinct, a question of surrender. Is this the moment before connection or collapse?

This piece embodies the moment when wildness meets vulnerability—the divine pause where danger and devotion coexist. Painted in warm earth tones and gold metallic underlay, it radiates both danger and grace.
