Product Description 🏷️
SUNCATCHER is our inaugural print for our Leggz of Art Program. The artwork on these leggings is from an Indigenous artist, Tracey Metallic. Tracey’s story of the Suncatcher is a deeply passionate one born of her journey through struggles and depression. Through her art, she found an outlet to express herself. These leggings combine Suncatcher and elements of Tracey’s other artwork to create this beautiful limited edition print.
Here is Tracey’s story:
My Story, Our Story
“In the moment I don’t always realize the impacts my painting will have on me, the memories they will breathe to life, the emotional toll they may take or the impact they will create around my work. What I do know is that before Suncatcher I believed my life was over.
The universe, it seemed, had thrown everything at me. Like so many of my sisters before me, I was ready to let the earth take me. To devour my soul.
I’m not sure what my awakening was, but I can only describe it as a revelation. There came a point in my life where I realized everything I was going through, everything I had been through, and all of my life experiences up until this point, had prepared me for this moment. That life, despite all it had caused me to suffer and sacrifice, was actually giving me valuable lessons - lessons that were priming me from my inner greatness.
And that was only realized after the veil of darkness was lifted from my spirit. I wake up each morning with these lessons and I call them gifts. I wrap those gifts around myself and imagine reaching out to that beautiful sun in an effort to catch its strength, to catch its beauty and its purpose. To rise each day and to draw all that back into my spirit. To catch all the good. To feel the deep love I now have for myself and to embrace the opportunities that may have passed me by had my eyes not been opened.
I am so thankful for the path my life has taken, that I can only look up to the stars each night as I whisper to them a prayer for the morning sun.
I know now that there’s nothing in life I cannot overcome. There’s nothing in life you cannot overcome.
Our strength is not in who we once were, but who we are destined to become.
We are Suncatchers.”
