Narrative: As the foundational work of the Roses in Bloom series, this painting introduces the visual language of the mid-life transition. By focusing on the quiet observation of a single bloom, the composition relies on negative space as an active element to hold form without effort. The work explores how botanical intensity shifts gradually into stillness, capturing the opening chapter of perimenopause where a form learns to let go of what no longer holds.
