The narrative behind this project is a chance meeting with mentally challenged lady who was drawing flowers on everything she could lands her hands to - books, school homework, bed sheets, walls, clothes etc. By the customs of the time she was severally punished, but nothing can stop her! That is what a true artist does! Her name was Hope. Taking from there and merging it with my usual style of stripe of color and employing non traditional material - organic glass stripes painted acrylic from back, I am hand sawing needed elements and gluing them together creating my forms - flowers.
