Medium: Ink on hand made watercolour paper

Inspired by the soft, understated elegance of the Christmas rose, this ink artwork on handmade paper reimagines the female vulva with a palette of green, red, and white. The deep red symbolizes strength and passion, while the white conveys purity and clarity, balanced by green’s grounding presence. These hues come together to reflect the resilience and grace of femininity, much like the hellebore’s quiet beauty blooming in winter’s chill. The handmade paper’s texture enhances the piece’s organic feel, grounding it in a natural authenticity. This artwork invites viewers to embrace the gentle strength and timeless beauty of womanhood, blossoming with quiet power and depth.
