Flowers in Stillness: Frozen Bloom
A visual meditation on youth held in suspension.
These frozen still lifes explore a chapter of my life interrupted by illness, where time felt paused, movement halted, and growth stilled. Using light painting technique, through the delicate forms of flowers encased in ice, this series reflects on inner fragility, the quiet weight of waiting, and the slow, unseen transformation that begins beneath the surface of stillness.
