a floral tapestry of remembrance, connection, and collective healing. Created for the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, this piece intertwines the symbolic language of flowers with visual storytelling that honors both legacy and love. The red roses represent devotion and grief, while forget-me-nots and white carnations bloom in memory of lives touched and transformed by love, loss, and resilience. At the center, two hands painted in deep shadow reach for one another, bound by a crimson ribbon. This shared ribbon represents the invisible threads of support, care, and solidarity that hold communities together in the face of adversity. Butterflies drift between the blooms, evoking transformation, transition, and the fragile beauty of life itself. Rooted in my signature collage style, this work is both a personal offering and a communal altar, meant to invite reflection, tenderness, and the healing power of beauty.
