Beauty Within the Madness

Originally inspired by flowers in a prunus vase, Beauty Within the Madness first strikes the eye as intricate. One’s gaze does not find the flaws in the vase until they have seen the flowers. I chose scratch paper as my medium because there is no undoing a mistake, no frantic cover-ups, with this. There is beauty to be found within the pain. There is blossoming hope, as delicate as flowers, as desperate as wanting to live, as hungry as human greed. No matter how imperfect, you see it all.
