Hidden In Plain Sight

As part of the BLOOM Collection, “Hidden In Plain Sight” queers the masculine stereotypes of rural America that I sought to cloak myself in while acknowledging it was the birthplace of myself and my creativity. Through the dogwood blossoms that signaled spring each year, this vase depicts a reconciliation I had with my own past to acknowledge how the planting of certain seeds led to my growth.
