The Weight of Orchids
In 2014, I was awarded first place at the national NANA Competition at Lucky Street Gallery, Key West, FL and was granted a month long residency at The Studios of Key West. So, I packed my studio and transferred my life to the subtropical beautiful island, in February 2017. 
On the first day I passed a front yard that was abundantly embellished by orchids.
I was immediately put under the spell of those beautiful flowers which were attached to the palm trees' trunks. They resembled swaying gorgeous color dots with a profound sense of vulnerability.
From that day on, I only printed orchids, lush gardens and imaginary spaces, sanctuaries that have the power to stop time and let you reset.
First timid and delicate, I started to paint the flowers on my aluminum printing plate, only to grow bolder and more colorful with each following print.
It became a roar that changed my color palette and sparked multiple new series in my mind.
