As part of a series I started during my COVID social distancing entitled "Nature Squared", I created this abstract from my memories of the impressive Blue Hydragea flower. Until moving to Vancouver, I had never seen this beautiful perennial in anything other than a photo. I wanted to use depth and dimension to capture the intensity of its bloom and the symbolic burst of energy it brings as it magically unfurls. It is also a reminder that nature moves forward in spite of the current world events or news cycle.
