Quiet Bloom

16"x12" Collage, Sumi ink and Acrylics on Canvas
 
Created from hand-painted and torn papers layered onto a black background, this work explores the beauty of forms that emerge meditatively rather than all at once. Built from washes of sumi ink, textured surfaces and subtle gold accents, the piece unfolds inward and outward simultaneously, like a bloom held in suspension.
Its layered structure suggests growth, accumulation and the gradual transformation that takes place beneath the surface of awareness.
