BloomingBodies 05

[...]
if i am the only one 
who can be the wilderness 
then let me be the wilderness 
the tree trunk cannot become the branch 
the jungle cannot become the garden 
so why should i
 
- it is so full here in my self
 
(Rupi Kaur, “the sun and her flowers” 244)
 
This series is a celebration of the self that is grounded in its understanding of its own beauty. Painted with wet-on-wet technique, the figure blooms from the ground and settles into her space: gentle, tender, and sure.
 
Original  12x12" ink painting on heavy watercolour paper.
 
Optionally framed to 16x16" (as shown in images).
