This series of works on paper represents my recent introspection of the body. Images of the human form merge with images of plant reproduction systems. Some of the images are real, some fictional. Inspirations for this series come from the UNC-Charlotte greenhouse and gardens, Gray's Anatomy and reflections during pregnancy. The work is a visual dairy during this exciting time.
