Go Breathe Fire

Brigid is immersed in an intense, fiery orange world. The instruction “go breathe fire” flares across her cheek, a mandate delivered not by a distant voice, but by the urgent, physical presence of a massive bee clinging to her brow. This bee is the messenger of purpose, a creature of intense, focused work and necessary defense. Brigid is fearless amidst its sting, its burden, and its command.

A transformation is underway.

In her hands, she holds the proof of her own vulnerability and her immense potential: an X-ray of her ribcage framed by encouraging words. She reveals her deep, internal structure, the bones that hold her brave and strong. The words speak directly to her spirit: “You can be the person you want to be.”

Below, a pair of full, human lips smile knowingly, a symbol of the voice she is about to find, the voice that will finally speak her truth. Every element confirms her journey: the X-ray shows the strength she needs, the bee delivers the challenge, and the teeth provide grounding.

Brigid does not just inhale and exhale; she breathes the pure, searing heat of her own power. She is not merely strong; she is the fire.
