Life as a human is very complicated. We have several nuances and, as a result, we go through life with a lot of things unsaid. This project is my take on the iceberg metaphor; what we say is sometimes just the tip of what we really feel. Then, we store these unsaid words, a collection of unresolved feelings and unexplored possibilities, much like the notebook in my art. Perhaps it is time to take a long read through those pages. Maybe we will find that much of it is useless, and should be let go. Perhaps it would lead to us introspecting, gaining new perspective after the fact. The best part about us humans is there’s always space to grow, and always new experiences to gather. Hence, our notebook of unsaid memories could instead be seen as a catalogue of our growth.

An interesting take on the topic. I like your 3D "word flowers".
