Morning Glory
$0.00
Morning Glory represents a few different ideas through its symbolic imagery. Morning Glory flowers illustrate life, death, and rebirth, blooming each morning only to die every evening. They are very resilient, enduring harsh conditions, yet also fleeting, only showing their beauty for a short time. One may compare the Morning Glory flower to love, and gift it as a symbol of an unbreakable bond between two people. In the Victorian Era, this flower was given as a gesture of love, however it was more so considered for love in vain. I designed this piece with the concepts of perpetuity and rebirth in mind.

Blind Time
Blind Time is an interpretation of space and time from the perspective of one who can not see, or who may be blinded. I started it in March 2020, at the beginning of COVID-19, when notions of time and reality succeeded my mind.
