These three paintings, Love, Strength, and Growth, are a testament to resilience, transformation, and the power of art to heal. Born from a deeply personal and traumatic experience, they capture the vulnerability of facing an emergency surgery and the profound journey of recovery. My left ovary had a cyst that turned it around and caused a small cut, causing internal bleeding. The organic forms of the body, intertwined with delicate dried flowers, symbolize the pain endured and the beauty that emerged from it. The flowers, once fragile but now preserved, represent the personal growth and strength gained through hardship. In turning pain into creation, these paintings stand as a reminder that even in our most difficult moments, we have the ability to bloom.
