Bloom

“Bloom” was created for my 2025 solo exhibition. This original measures 16” x 20” on gallery wrapped canvas.

“Bloom” radiates with themes of renewal, sensuality, and harmony between the human spirit and the natural world.

The central figure, with her closed eyes and uplifted face, appears to be in a state of serene surrender—a quiet blossoming from within. Her flowing hair, interwoven with delicate wildflowers, mirrors the natural abundance that surrounds her, blurring the line between body and earth. She becomes not merely a subject within nature, but a living extension of it.

The golden Art Nouveau-inspired frame, with its curving vines and tendrils, both encircles and liberates her, suggesting that growth is both a natural force and an artistic act. It is not a static border, but a living pattern that connects her to the flowers, sky, and fertile ground.

Unlike the fragility in “Wither”, this piece celebrates vitality and transformation. “Bloom” embodies the moment of becoming—the threshold when inward stillness expands outward into radiant life. It suggests that to bloom is not only to grow, but to surrender fully to existence, to beauty, and to the cycles that renew us.
