The Buddhist concept of the second arrow speaks to how we respond to pain—while the first arrow is an unavoidable hardship, the second is our reaction, often self-inflicted suffering. In my process with beeswax, I engage with this idea through the rhythm of gluing, dipping each seed with intention, forming an arrow—an ancient symbol of protection. Rather than resisting or compounding challenges, this practice becomes a meditation in acceptance, transformation, and renewal. The beeswax, with its fluid adaptability, mirrors nature’s resilience, binding elements together just as the seasons reseed the earth. The history of the window remains unknown, yet its frame is intact, and the glass offers a perfect substrate for transparency and perspective—reminding me that clarity and change are always possible.
