Honorable Mention
In Bloom
DESCRIPTION
"In Bloom" symbolizes the dichotomy between societal expectations and the reality of women who are strong and resilient. Although society often views women as weak and fragile, the image depicts a woman with rose thorns covering her body to suggest that women can be strong as well as beautiful. The woman's pose, expressing pride and strength, emphasizes this message and challenges society's perception of women. The image also challenges women to accept their true selves and not be limited by societal expectations and norms. The dark green leaves on the ground growing up her legs reinforce the idea of growth and renewal, emphasizing that women, like nature, are constantly growing and changing. The image is a powerful representation of women's beauty and strength, highlighting their resilience and challenging societal expectations. AUTHOR
