Sunflowers traditionally follow light, symbolizing warmth, growth, and vitality, but here they become quiet observers—present, yet disconnected. The repetition of these forms suggests a collective presence, while the fractured features hint at isolation within that group.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"728\" data-end=\"1004\"\u003eThrough layered textures and broken lines, I explore how identity can be shaped, obscured, and repeated.
