The vibrant flowers bursting forth from the vessel represent the blooming of the soul—how faith and resilience can lead to profound personal and spiritual growth. Their rich, deep hues contrast against a vibrant background, emphasizing the life and energy that springs from within the vessel. The flowers' roots, though unseen, are implied to intertwine with the golden cracks, suggesting that true beauty and strength grow from embracing and healing our wounds.

In creating this piece, I reflect on the duality of being both an artist and a person of great faith. The process of artistic creation mirrors the spiritual journey—both require patience, resilience, and a willingness to embrace imperfections. The notion of being a vessel speaks to the idea of containment and endurance, as well as the potential for transformation through divine intervention.

Being a vessel sometimes means you have to tolerate and be still. Every season brings an opportunity to be broken so that you may experience God's beautification of your person—the vessel.

This sentiment is beautifully captured in Resilient Bloom, where the act of being broken is not seen as a flaw, but as a necessary step towards achieving a state of enhanced beauty and grace.

Resilient Bloom is not just an artwork; it is a testament to the power of faith and the beauty of resilience. It invites you to reflect on your own journey, to find strength in your imperfections, and to embrace the transformative power of divine love and grace.
