Petals of Perseverance reflects the quiet strength found in repetition and care. Each stitch carries persistence through pain, patience, and presence. The waves within the work speak to fluctuation and unpredictability, while the floral forms reflect moments of softness, understanding, and strength. Together, they invite the viewer to consider resilience as something lived moment to moment — shaped through family, care, and the willingness to continue even when the body no longer responds as expected.
