Everything Grows Differently

From the Artist: This work was done with marker on canvas. The work was inspired by a friend’s photograph but took a different turn as I put my own spin on this piece. The work is of a sunflower that is oddly shaped and has wild over growing leaves. All sunflowers or flowers look different and they grow in their own way, just like people all look different and grow in their own ways. During this pandemic we all have had our own experiences and most of us have grown from those experiences. When life brings upon challenges you can either rise to the occasion and make the best of it and come out of it better for having been through it, or fall down. The sunflower that I have created keeps blooming with a great amount of leaves showing that when this pandemic is over we will have come out stronger for having gone through it. My sunflower does not stop growing just like we should not stop growing when faced with challenges. With love and care from others around us, we as humans, flowers and all living things can grow and probably will grow even more with that extra love and care.
