Peonies
100cm x 75cm | Oil on canvas
To me, Peonies represents the seemingly fragile and innocent nature of Womanhood. Though, at a deeper level, the group of peonies, clustered together, showcases the strength of womanhood as a whole and the beauty that lies in it. The details of the petals and varying shades of pink symbolizes the personal stories and ventures each woman takes on her own and emerging triumphant and blossoming. As women, with each of our peonies, we blossom in glory in each of our own unique ways and yet, come together, full of hope, opportunities and strength.
