This first image depicts a flower growing in spring, with its petals opening. It is symbolic of the evolvement of life; stemming back to my concept of transition.
This second image is of a young ballerina. I was inspired to paint this artwork after seeing the image below. I liked the idea that a ballet dancer could symbolise the changing nature of ones youth. The way that they 'morph' into different positions resonates with the transition into adulthood. The way they stretch - their flexibility kind of resonates with the ways our physical and mental characteristics alter as they gradually 'fit' and 'lock' into place, making us who we are.
