A Gentle Awakening captures the quiet beauty of nature slowly unfolding. Through layered colour, expressive brushwork, and soft movement, this piece reflects the gentle transition between stillness and growth — a reminder that beauty often emerges slowly, softly, and in its own time. The iris also brings back so many memories of my family garden and the passion my parents have for it, still today.
