Affectus paradoxum

This artwork was made at a time where I trying to keep up appearances of happiness and perfection. I was striving to hold myself together like a flower, yet inside, I felt completely different. 

The symbolism of the crying flower in my artwork reflects this inner turmoil. Despite the sadness I experienced, those tears became the nourishment that kept me going. It’s a reminder that sometimes, from our deepest emotional struggles, we find the strength to thrive and pursue our dreams.
