The Thistle’s luminous energy suggests both fragility and resilience, a quiet fire that persists through time and change. Like passion or memory, it burns bright before fading, embodying the paradox of beauty that is both fleeting and unyielding.

Artist's Statement:

My work explores nature as a living record of time—where growth, decay, resilience, and renewal exist in continuous relationship. I am drawn to moments of transition, when forms are neither fully ending nor fully emerging, but quietly becoming something new. Through layered compositions of tangled stems, fading botanicals, and unfolding blooms, I examine how beginnings are often rooted in what has come before.
