“A reminder to get back up”
~29’x6’H

A few months ago, my niece and nephews came over to play in the backyard. It was overgrown with desert marigolds scattered throughout, and in the chaos of chasing each other, they unintentionally trampled a patch nestled under our tree. I remember feeling a little sad, like we might have lost them, but Christian reassured me they would bounce back. Sure enough, just a few days later, those same flowers were upright again, blooming like nothing had happened.
This piece is a reflection on life and my growth as an artist, an exploration of trying things that scare me, and a reminder that we can get back up.
