Blooming from Broken Things

colored pencil, watercolor, oil, and oil pastel on paper

This piece reflects the quiet transformation of what has been discarded — feelings, memories, and wounds — as they return to the earth and become ash. In time, the soil renews its strength, and from it, a single flower emerges.
It is a reminder that even from what is broken, new roots can grow and beauty can rise from the most unlikely places.

this project was created in collaboration with Arttab,
a brand that transforms discarded cosmetics into watercolor paint.
just like the abandoned makeup, forgotten emotions can become a nourishing foundation —
a beginning for healing, growth, and the return of something beautiful.
