Artist Note
This is a reminder that we are not powerless even when systems try to make us feel small. The daisy stands for all that’s been dismissed as weak: empathy, care, and vulnerability. But these are the exact qualities that help us connect, collaborate, and build a better world.
Making this piece helped me feel connected to the collective roar against gaslighting, manipulation, and the erosion of truth and humanity. It’s a declaration that we refuse to numb out or look away. When we feel our anger and channel it with love, we remember our power. Together, we can resist the forces that divide us, and cultivate a world rooted in compassion, accountability, and respect for life in all its forms.
May this piece remind you to honor your sacred anger, trust your inner wisdom, and embody the fierce heart the world needs most.
