“Blossoming Self” is the third piece in a series of seven artworks that depict the cycles of a woman’s life, mirroring the stages of a tree’s growth. This piece captures the poignant phase when a young woman begins to discover and love herself, and even experiences tender love for another.

In this artwork, the young woman stands gracefully beside a tree that bends with her will, adorned with eleven blooms. The number eleven is significant, being a master number that symbolizes intuition, insight, and spiritual enlightenment. The tree’s branches and blooms represent her emerging mastery and self-discovery.

Rendered in simple black lines with the striking contrast of her red hair and the red blooms, the composition highlights the delicate balance between strength and vulnerability during this stage of life. The flowing lines and gentle curves of the tree echo her journey towards self-acceptance and the blossoming of her true self.

“Blossoming Self” beautifully captures the essence of personal growth and the blossoming of love and self-awareness. It is a celebration of a young woman’s journey towards mastering her inner world, making it a compelling and inspirational addition to the collection.
