DESCRIPTION
In the image, the flower covering the body is a metaphor for protecting one's fragile nature, but at the same time - opening oneself to the world. The flower represents vitality, femininity and rebirth, and interacting with it is an act of creating one's own space of acceptance and love. A bruise on the body highlights two key themes — vulnerability and strength — it's like a reminder of life's trials, a testament to how even with a wound, one can be one's own best source of inspiration.There's an integration of physical reality with spiritual transformation, where trauma can become a source of personal growth.
