Continuing the visual language of "Dandlions I," this painting shifts the dandelion puff from the body to the hand.The puff comes to represent a fragile emotional residue carried across time—an image of how past wounds, memories, and relational experiences remain within the self in subtle yet persistent ways. Held in the artist’s hand, it suggests a present encounter with these accumulated traces, as something both delicate and enduring.
