The Chrysanthemum explores the tension between vulnerability and defiance. What it means to be fully seen, and to remain rooted in yourself anyway.
Framed by the chrysanthemum, a symbol of self-worth and becoming, the figure exists in a state of quiet exposure. Intricate, henna-inspired linework and dense stippling build a surface that feels both delicate and controlled, while references to the evil eye introduce a sense of protection. Watchful, aware, and unyielding.
The piece reflects a version of identity that is not hidden or hardened, but owned—soft, intentional, and resistant at the same time.
Developed over the course of two months, The Chrysanthemum is part of a limited edition of 100.
Materials:
Archival pigment print on enhanced matte paper, from an original digital linework illustration
Dimensions:
16” x 20”
