Flower in My Eyes
Flower in My Eyes is an intricate black-and-white artwork that attempts to blend traditional and contemporary aesthetics. Created using ink on handmade paper, the sketch features a poised woman dressed in a richly adorned kimono, filled with elaborate floral and botanical patterns. The surrounding environment mirrors the motifs within her attire, creating a harmonious interplay between figure and background. The stylized linework, reminiscent of traditional Japanese woodblock prints, exudes grace and refinement. The intricate detailing and flowing organic forms capture a sense of delicate beauty, symbolizing an intimate connection between nature and human expressions.
