Acrylic painting on MDF (39in by 45in). Growth investingates one's vulnerabilities and explores the inherent vulnerability of adolescence and the ease with which we conform to societal norms, ultimately leading to the loss of our innocence. Purity here is represented by the white of the flowers, the purples and blues on the underside of the leaves shows the evils that can persuade us and that are systemic through our lives. This piece shows that you can surpass these evils and continue to grow into something beautiful by staying true to your own beliefs.
