    Artist Statement

    This work explores the tension between growth and instability through elongated, fragmented floral forms. The stems stretch upward with a fragile persistence, while the petals appear partially constructed and partially unraveling, suggesting a state between formation and decay.

    The composition is intentionally irregular, with varying heights and directions creating a sense of imbalance. This disrupts the calm rhythm often associated with botanical subjects and introduces a subtle unease. Muted yellows and greens evoke natural vitality, yet their restraint prevents the image from becoming purely decorative.

    Layered textures and embedded patterns within the petals suggest hidden structures beneath the surface, reinforcing the idea that growth is not seamless but complex and fractured. These forms are not idealized flowers, but adaptive structures—bending, stretching, and enduring within uncertain conditions.
