Embracing—not judging or hiding—our flaws and vulnerabilities makes us happier and more relatable. What we think are negatives, others see as courageous, finding beauty in those imperfections and see it as authentic. Beauty exists in imperfection.
I challenge traditional notions of perfection by transforming beautiful flower bouquets into blurred, abstract forms, dissolved into waves of light. What emerges is a revelation of beauty in chaos. The viewer is invited to look beyond the expected, to find beauty in the mess, and to reconsider what truly makes something captivating.
