Artist Statement:

In my work, I explore the connection of "Coming Together" by examining how the physical and symbolic aspects of the vase interact with the flowers it holds. Each piece of the arrangement-the curve of the vessel, the angle of the stem, the weight of the blooms-tells a story of balance, tension, and harmony. By focusing on this relationship ,I aim to evoke a sense of quiet reflection, a reminder of the fragile beauty that surrounds us and the ways in which we seek to hold onto it. Through the vase and the flowers, I seek to engage viewers in a conversation about the nature of beauty, time, and preservation.
