Solo exhibition “Unseen: a journey into inner worlds” at Slice of life Vancouver, Sept 2025
‘Stone Flowers’ was born from thinking about wars around the world and how the most vulnerable are always the ones under attack, whether through physical violence, capitalism, racism, or other forms of oppression. It’s about how a few powerful groups of people suppress the weak while everyone else stands by and watches it all happen. I painted this blue, stone-like feminine figure with just a few flowers sprouting from her head, representing healing and the strength to keep going. Even when we’re turned to stone by what the world does to us, there’s still something that refuses to die, something that finds a way to bloom despite everything trying to crush it.
