You Are a Beautiful Flower
Embossed, hand-dyed paper Mounted on linen in custom acrylic frame
You Are A Beautiful Flower was created with heart, and is a love song to the persistence of memory and friendship. A piece from my “Friendship Bracelet” series where Humphreys screenshot monumental conversations she was having with loved ones during a difficult period in her life and memorialized them by blind embossing the message bubble shapes. She found it fascinating (and still does) how far back in our text threads we are able to scroll to find these nuggets of affection from our loved ones. Each “friendship bracelet” is titled with a quote from within the coming of age conversation, annotated with the date and time.
