Through bold, expressive florals, I pay tribute to the untold stories of Afrikaans women who found their voices through art forms like botanical drawing, embroidery, and flower pressing. These delicate flowers, often dismissed as "lesser art," carry powerful narratives of strength and determination.
Incorporating text inspired by Afrikaans poems and folk songs from my childhood, this work connects to my roots and reflects the enduring complexity of femininity. Vibrant and unapologetic, this piece reclaims florals as a symbol of both fragility and power, woven into the language of abstraction.
