The inspiration for this drawing blossomed from the leaves and plants I gathered on a quiet walk.
I often remind myself that all the answers we seek are right before us, yet we rarely pause to truly see them, or we deliberately ignore them.
Ophrys neglecta is a species of orchid, known for its unique appearance: its flowers resemble the shape of a human face, often interpreted as having both masculine and feminine qualities.
This appearance has led to symbolic readings where the flower is seen as embodying the harmonious balance and unity of male and female forces. The idea of balance between the masculine and feminine has often been a theme in various mythologies and spiritual systems, reflecting the notion that the cosmos is created or sustained by the union of these opposing forces.
