Artist Statement

I wanted to make this piece to show how women can not be held back and how they rise up against adversity. I used flowers to represent women because they are often seen as delicate and frail. But them breaking through the concrete shows they are strong, and can rise up through even the hardest conditions.

"Hate may be strong but love is stronger."
