It has been such a surreal year. I wanted to make a piece that talked about this next stage in the pandemic where everyone is starting to reach out and connect with one another again as vaccinations role out and restrictions ease. People have had vastly different experiences during covid… some have had an incredibly hard year filled with loss or isolation and all they were able to grow in their mind’s garden were wildflowers that could still bloom despite it all. Some have been fortunate to keep their stability and have been able to actually flourish and really tend to their mind’s garden this year. Both bouquets are bursting with flowers. Both bouquets are beautiful! We may be coming from different experiences or perspectives, but a little empathy and grace as we see each other’s bouquets after this stretch is what I am all about this year.
