Love with a Bandage

This artwork is part of the Thorny Rose Bush project, a series that explores relationships and the contradictions that exist within them. It reflects on a love that can be both beautiful and painful at the same time gentle yet piercing, wounded yet healing. Like a rose bush, we are drawn to beauty even when we know it comes with thorns. Love can leave us with wounds, yet it can also become the very bandage that protects and comforts them. The artwork invites us to reflect on the complexity of intimacy, where vulnerability, pain, tenderness, and healing coexist within the same relationship.
