Petals of Vulnerability

This painting reflects my journey of exploring femininity, value, and divine timing through the lens of faith. The intertwining peonies symbolize renewal and resilience, embodying a sacred femininity that transcends the diminishing standards imposed by the world.

Drawing inspiration from the story of Eve, I examine the purity and purpose she held before the fall—a reminder to trust in God’s timing, as Eve was created when Adam was ready, not as someone who needed to pursue or chase.

The nude figure represents vulnerability and an unbroken connection to divinity, reclaiming the purity and trust that existed before shame or compromise. This work serves as a testament to the truth that, despite worldly perceptions of lost value, God’s grace remains unwavering, continually restoring and affirming my worth and purpose.
