Blooming
2024
Mixed emotions on canvas (chalk & oil pastels, acrylic)
100x115

“Blooming” is a visual contradiction—part self-help mantra, part existential crisis. Layered with raw emotions, sarcastic remarks, and ironic affirmations, the painting balances between sincerity and playful cynicism. The chaotic mix of words and symbols reflects the absurdity of navigating growth, where breakthroughs feel like breakdowns, and self-reflection comes with a side of eye-rolling. It’s a reminder that even in the mess, something is always in bloom—whether we like it or not. This piece is a visual poem, inviting the viewer to find their own meaning in its fragments.
