Renewal | Digital Watercolour

Renewal is a digital watercolor painting that portrays delicate cherry blossoms—symbols of fragility, beauty, and impermanence in many East Asian cultures. In this piece, the blossoms are more than ornamental; they serve as a quiet act of remembrance and resistance.

“This work is dedicated to the victims of the Atlanta shooting on March 16, 2021, where eight lives were taken—six of them Asian women. In the wake of that tragedy, Renewal stands as both a memorial and a message: that even in the face of violence and hate, there is strength in softness, and power in remembering.”
