These watercolor florals consider plants as participants within ecological systems rather than purely decorative forms. Through transparent washes and controlled chance, the paintings reference cycles of water, light, growth, and decay that sustain living networks. The embroidered vase functions as a human-made vessel—an act of care and mending that also removes the plant from its natural context, holding beauty while underscoring impermanence. This tension reflects broader ecological questions around preservation, containment, and human intervention. By framing individual blooms within these structures, the work invites reflection on how natural systems are shaped, altered, and momentarily held by human hands. The abundance of flowers refuses to fit neatly into its vessel. This overflow speaks to the way life exceeds expectation, structure, and the containers we are told to occupy.
