Nothing to Say

A layered mixed-media composition of florals and text that wrestles with silence.

A large rose blooms in the lower corner while two bright dandelion-like bursts radiate above it. Layers of collage, paint, drips, and splatters build a textured background in warm oranges, teals, and reds. Across the center, a hand-lettered phrase reads: “i have nothing to say.” The florals are vivid and alive, yet the statement suggests restraint. The piece holds the tension between expression and suppression — between the richness of inner life and the difficulty of finding words.
