You deserve the space you need to be yourself.
Surrounded by other birds, a cormorant stands on a rock with its wings spread wide.
While the world around it continues moving, the bird takes a moment to care for itself, allowing its feathers to dry in the open air.
It doesn't appear concerned with how much room it occupies. It simply does what comes naturally.
Sometimes, we forget that we are allowed to do the same.
We may find ourselves putting the needs of others before our own, staying quiet when we have something to say, or making ourselves smaller to avoid inconveniencing someone else.
But our needs matter, too.
Taking up space doesn't mean taking something away from others. It means recognizing that we deserve room to grow, express ourselves, set boundaries, and care for our well-being.
We can make room for others without making ourselves smaller.
Taking Up Space reminds us that belonging does not require us to hide who we are. We can be considerate of others while still honoring our own needs.
A meaningful addition to counseling offices, classrooms, wellness spaces, and homes, encouraging self advocacy, confidence, healthy boundaries, and self acceptance.
About the Print
Printed on aluminum for a luminous, dimensional finish that brings the photograph to life. Each metal print is scratch and fade resistant, easy to care for, and arrives ready to hang approximately ½" from the wall.
Each piece is made to order, helping reduce unnecessary production and waste.
