This series came after the end of a chapter of my life and during a time of a sort of reflection and cleansing of the heart and soul, if you will. I used my own hands as models to show the variety of feelings, thoughts and emotions that flooded my head during this time. Such a change can often feel as if you are losing limbs or that you are losing a piece of yourself, but the flowers symbolize the growth that takes place during this transition. These transformative times can both inspire and torture you. Thoughts of pain, helplessness, anger, and plain heartache seep into your daily routine. From this, came these images.
