As I turn 40 this year, I wanted to redefine that symbolism through the lessons nature teaches us.
Aging isn’t about depreciating over time, it’s about seasons, evolution and that life is a journey rather than one destination.
At the centre of the canvas is a chrysanthemum flower in full, unapologetic bloom. The petals are layered in a deep royal purple-pink, voluminous and unrestrained.
Below it, lush bottle-green leaves ground the composition, anchoring the flower's softness with something rooted and alive.
A hand reaches up to hold the stem. Not picking the flower or presenting but simply holding it.
The gesture is quiet strength that is simultaneously soft and steady.
