Tearing Petals of Beauty

Summary

Poetry is about empathy, imagination, observation, and about internal and external truths. These works focus on a person's relationship with nature, others, and self, through depicting hope, love, memory, shame, immortality, acceptance, faith, happiness, confidence, passion, recognition, diversity, perseverance, forgiveness, vulnerability, and loneliness. Nevertheless, this poetry collection is like an assortment of gothic romances, because, despite a melodramatic imagination, love somehow finds a way to dominate and triumph all else.

The paintings are about how color can make one feel, about finding one's subconscious. They intend to be stimulating, slightly chaotic sometimes, invigorating, and thought-provoking.

With an irresistible emphasis on flowers and on messy beauty easily found in the day-to-day, these works find a way to engage one's senses to sights, smells, touches, sounds, and even tastes. This collection of works speaks for anyone interested in humanities, art, sociology, symbolic interactions, feminism, psychology, literature, flora, and any motif of life.
