Still Blooming

This work reflects femininity and beauty during menopause — a time of profound change, but not of decay.

The pale flower bears the marks of a life lived, and the gold outlines its edges like visible scars that have turned into strength. The dark background reflects moments of invisibility, doubt, and change, but the flower continues to bloom.

Beauty here no longer means perfection or youth, but endurance, depth, and self-acceptance.

She is still blooming — in a different way, but powerfully.
