Showing the lifecycle of a white poppy, a symbol of peace, this image represents that even though we each are to fall into the same cycle of life and death, there is a beauty to be found in it. For with death, there comes room for new life.
I had experienced pain and loss throughout this project. I learned quickly that these things are natural. Allow this piece to represent the beauty of life and remind you to cherish the sweet aromas around you, for each life can spread joyful colors and scents.

Life is a series of chains linked in perpetuity. Being unable to escape something as inevitable as life can evoke emotions so abstract that we find ourselves grasping at straws to verbalize them. And how funny is that? We all go through the same thing: we are all going to fall into the same cycle, and we are all going to struggle to speak about it.
