A dahlia carved in pinks and burning oranges, rising boldly from the blackness behind it. Every petal reaches outward, a quiet declaration of colour, warmth, and becoming. Painted in a moment of hope and finished in the uncertainty that followed, this work is a reminder that growth is not measured by the ease of our days, but by the courage to open even when the world feels unsteady. This is a bloom shaped in darkness, yet carrying its own light - resilient, radiant, and still becoming.
