"Cultural Flowers" is a deeply personal tribute to lineage, land, and legacy. My family's roots trace back to the soil of Georgia where cotton blooms under the Southern sun and history lives quietly between the rows. Generations before me labored in those fields, hands harvesting what the world would later wear, while carrying stories no fabric could ever hold.
A few years ago, I stood in a cotton field myself. I reached out and picked cotton with my own hands not as labor, but as remembrance. I wanted to feel the texture, the weight, the energy of where I come from. In that moment, the distance between past and present disappeared. It was powerful. It was grounding. It was sacred. This piece transforms cotton from a symbol of hardship into one of honor into flowers of culture. It acknowledges pain, resilience, and the unbreakable thread of ancestry that runs through my blood and into my art.
