She Blooms Anyways
Soft Pastel on Canson Velvet with Gold Foil
Framed to 11 x 14"*
 
She Blooms Anyway reflects quiet perseverance in the face of visible fracture. A single poppy emerges beside a closed eye, symbolizing remembrance, softness, and the courage to remain open. Fine cracks trace the surface of the figure, edged with gold, marking moments of strain that do not halt growth but become part of it.
 
The work embraces vulnerability without collapse—honoring the choice to bloom not in spite of damage, but alongside it. Rendered in soft pastel, the piece balances delicacy and strength, inviting reflection on resilience, grief, and the beauty that continues to unfold.
