Original fabric collage — part of the Personal Collection. This piece has been lovingly gifted to the oldest of us — the one who leads without being asked, who moves through the hardest moments with a quiet that steadies everyone around her. It is not available for purchase. Koi have long been symbols of perseverance and gentle forward motion — pressing on through still water and rough current alike, without fanfare, without stopping. Kevin moved through the world that way. So does she. It is no accident that this piece found its way to her. Our family has always celebrated koi. They are our signature, our symbol, our shared language across generations. Kevin understood that language deeply. There were words he meant to leave behind — words of compassion, carefully chosen — and though they were never finished, the intention behind them was never lost. She carried that intention. She always has. This piece is for her — because she and Kevin shared the same quiet, persistent way of showing up for the people who need it most. Because she is fierce the way still water is fierce. Because she never stops moving forward. He is missed. And she is seen.
