With Wild Flower, I wanted to express the moment when a human being and nature become one when boundaries dissolve and something new, almost mythical, emerges.
The woman in the image doesn’t just hold the flower she is the flower. They merge into a single, silent presence, rooted in softness and quiet power.
For me, this work is about transformation. About allowing oneself to grow, to bloom, even when the world feels harsh or uncertain. There is vulnerability here, yes but also strength in surrendering to the natural, instinctive part of oneself.
Wild Flower is a reminder that beauty is not something external. It rises from within from the parts of us that are wild, tender, and unafraid to open.
