Flowers symbolize the cycle of life: they bud, bloom, and eventually wither. Much like the human body, their physical form transforms as they progress through their life stages. My work delves into the stillness within this cycle. Just as a flower pauses in full bloom before it begins to wither, there are moments in our lives that require us to simply be still and exist.
