Nocturne in Bloom
2025

Nocturne in Bloom is a continuation of my Shadow Garden series, which featured washy watercolors exploring the tension between delicacy and disappearance. In contrast, this new body of work embraces weight and texture, using layered acrylic on wood and canvas to evoke a more visceral, grounded presence.

Here, floral forms emerge not in soft transparency but through dense strokes and sculpted surfaces—traces of growth etched into darkness. Nocturne in Bloom offers a moodier, more tactile meditation on beauty, resilience, and the quiet insistence of things that bloom unseen.
