"When we pour our heart into works we love, it carries the experience we had in making it, with it. Even after it has left our hands"
- Joel Uili
The first scent of clover in warm air, the hum of bees, the feeling that life is asking a little less of you for a moment - this piece comes from that kind of noticing.
A lot of my work begins with forms found in nature, then shifts into something more emotional and symbolic. In this piece, those elements became a way to speak about vibrancy, expression, and the parts of us that still long to feel open, bright, and free.
