Go and Sit with the Flowers (video, still image)

I was invited to apply to the Times Square Midnight Moment in a student pool through Nato Thompson at the Alternative Art School. Ultimately not selected but the piece has gone on to be shown publicly.

This work celebrates the beauty and intelligence of nature, focusing on the wildflowers grown in my front yard garden bed. The garden is not just a source of inspiration—it’s a living collaboration with the land, pollinators, and the rhythms of the natural world. The short film I’ve created is filmed from the perspective of a small being within this garden, where each flower was nurtured from seed, tended with care, and observed closely before becoming a subject in the film. These flowers become both subjects and vocabulary in my paintings and artwork. The plants symbolize resilience, interconnectedness, and the joy of paying attention. I see the short film as a visual meditation on time, memory, and nature’s healing presence. In public spaces, where people are often in motion, this video offer’s a moment of calm—like a visual breath—reminding us that we are part of something larger, connected through beauty and intelligence in the natural world.
