Write Up
This watercolor painting features blooming plum blossoms, a meaningful symbol of resilience, perseverance, and hope in Chinese culture, where I grew up. The blossoms, accompanied by fresh budding pulps, represent renewal and the cycle of life. A butterfly emerging from its cocoon serves as a metaphor for transformation and growth, while delicate bubbles float around the composition, symbolizing youth and the fleeting nature of time. The use of soft, spring-inspired colors—yellows, blues, and pinks—brings a sense of warmth, awakening, and vitality, celebrating both the quiet strength of nature and a personal connection to cultural heritage.
