Petals of my Hope I-III: I took these photos while being hospitalized in the oncology unit, recovering from two severe surgeries. I took these little flowers, some extra band aid and my trusty Minolta x-300 analog camera with me to the hospital, to keep myself motivated and creative. These pictures contain a sense of darkness, yet the flowers represent hope and liveliness. I am still recovering, but I like to think I could caption the complexity and ambiguity of my emotions in these three photos.
