Artist Statement
The exuberance of the passion flower is intoxicating. Its tendrils are wild and fleshy. But inside, upon careful study and focus, shapes emerge that relay a calmness amid the showy display.

With digital finesse, I tease out leaf shapes, sentry figures, and shrines demanding adornment.

I honor the tendrils by presenting them unaltered, allowing them to paradoxically entice the viewer to enter the very center that they guard.
