Description

Kai has always lived between worlds — between what others expect and who they truly are.
When they arrive at an arts program known for its freedom and chaos, they find a strange kind of home among misfits, dreamers, and those still trying to define themselves.

Then there's June.
Brilliant. Intense. Guarded.
Her art burns like wildfire — raw and breathtaking, but laced with hurt.
Kai is drawn to her the way color is drawn to light.

As their friendship deepens into something that feels dangerously close to love, both must face the ghosts that keep them from opening up — June's fear of being left behind, and Kai's fear of never being seen fully for who they are.

Set against the backdrop of a messy, passionate art school year, The Art of Becoming is a story of identity, vulnerability, and the tender chaos of finding connection when you're still learning how to belong to yourself.

This is a coming-of-age tale for anyone who's ever felt unfinished — a reminder that becoming yourself isn't about arriving. It's about the courage to begin.
