Tittle : “Inner Garden”

This poster is a minimalist representation of the inner world, utilising the metaphor of a garden to illustrate the intricacies and diversity within one's essence. The act of watering symbolises the nurturing of our inner being, akin to the attentive care given to a garden.

Through serene skies, drifting clouds, and the blossoming of flowers resulting from this simple act, I aim to underscore the opulence of our internal landscapes. As the head transforms into flowers and butterflies, it embodies the distinctive and concealed beauty within us.

The underlying message conveyed by this artwork is that every individual possesses a profound inner world deserving of exploration and acknowledgment. It serves as a reminder that our inner realms are unparalleled, brimming with imagination, creativity, and beauty. This piece encourages us to prioritize the nurturing of our inner growth, embrace our unique inner beauty, and uphold authenticity and freedom despite external influences.
