In this piece, the hibiscus and the human figure merge into one another, sharing form, posture, and emotional resonance. The hibiscus becomes more than a botanical element, it stands as a metaphor for power, fertility, and fullness of life.

Yet, like the human body it echoes, the flower carries a physical sensitivity that can bruise, wilt, and respond to the world around it. This duality is central to the work. Its bright, commanding form draws the viewer in, but its softness and vulnerability complicate that first impression.

The flower also carries cultural associations with intensity and madness, adding another layer to the emotional landscape of the piece. It becomes a symbol of overwhelming feeling, passion that spills beyond control, or inner turbulence hidden beneath vibrant surfaces.
