Vessel of Bloom

This striking alcohol ink painting with gold leaf is another powerful piece from the same collection exploring the sensual, organic forms of the iris flower — and the blurred line between botanical and bodily anatomy. The composition pulses with deep cerise, rose, and burgundy, interwoven with flashes of verdant green, ivory, and soft lilac. These layered hues fold and ripple like living tissue, or petals in mid-bloom, caught between opening and contraction.
Delicate dotted patterns trace curves and contours across the image — recalling seed pods, stamen, or inner cellular structures. These markings bring a sense of the natural language of growth. The gold leaf grounds the painting in a luminous, tactile terrain.
The effect is both intimate and expansive — a lush interior world filled with raw energy,  where life originates and unfolds in silent power.
