    Artist statement

    Pain is not hidden here—it becomes the ground for growth.
    The face holds tension and fracture, yet something within it continues to open.

    The floral form does not soften the image; it emerges from it. What blooms is not separate from pain, but shaped by it—formed through pressure, not despite it.

    There is no resolution, no relief offered.
    Only the persistence of becoming, even in discomfort.
