Blind Bloom is the second piece in a four-part series exploring perception, identity, and transformation. A white sculpted mask is blindfolded with shimmering gold leaf, surrounded by a vibrant cascade of red floral textures and lifelike butterflies.
 
The butterflies erupt from the head like thoughts taking flight — symbolizing rebirth, liberation, and the beauty that can emerge even when sight is obscured.
