THE DOVE & THE ROSE
2022
…
Nfm Magazine: Once upon a vibe, Photoshopped pics were like, totally cancelled. Can you even? Being all pressed over something this gorge just ‘cause it got a lil’ Photoshop glow-up. At the end of the day, it’s all about the art vibes. Appreciate the masterpiece, not the tech. ’Cause behind every edit is a human with a vision, the passion, and a story to spill.

(This artwork is a ‘Love Letter’ to myself)
they often tried to meet
between
the earthy roots
and the skies
above
always seeking
yet sometimes wilting
on the path to
self love
not like in that book
they read
the one where the
rose stayed blooming and
red
or where the dove
flew high as a symbol
of love
but imperfection always rings true
in the darkest of dark
before the morning dew
yet the dawn signals flight
a breeze of wings and
petals
the innocence of sight
self love
eternal

”This year to explore the concept of love around Valentine’s Day @adobe asked me to create an artwork looking at the important reality of self love. I think for many people including myself, it can often be our most difficult long term relationship. I have always found it easier to see the light, goodness and beauty in others, when there is so much goodness to be found much closer to home. In my opinion, self love is one of the greatest kindnesses we can give to ourselves, to know our worth and value as an individual. I find so much self value through my art and creativity and this artwork is an ode to that!”
