My subject matter includes botany, anatomy, and resemblance between nature and human actions. Through attention to detail I strive to communicate nature’s continuous beauty to viewers. The interaction between humans and nature is my main muse, and I hope to relay a poetic interpretation of the two.
I’ve been Inspired by Bougainvillea. Nothing evokes the feel of a tropical paradise quite as magnificently as vibrant bougainvillea plants.
Bougainvillea is a wonderful strong plant. The little bushes with pretty pink leaves, those vibrant pink ones that instantly manage to catch your eyes are "Leaves" not flowers.
Isn't this fascinating about these plants that how they turn some of their leaves pink so that they can attract more insects for pollination process.
This is their mechanism to adapt and compensate for their tiny flowers which one hardly notices or admires on spotting the bougainvilleas around.
This makes me wonder that aren't we all in a way, some sorts of bougainvilleas who are trying to turn their flaws into flowers so that more and more people can love us, admire us, accept us.
