Sudamala
Sudamala was inspired by my repeated journeys to Bali and my fascination with the quiet rituals woven into everyday life.
An early Balinese morning, when soft light touches the volcanic earth, a young maiden steps outside her home to gather fallen frangipani flowers. The white, yellow and red blossoms scattered across the ground caught my attention. It's not simply for their beauty, but for the way they speak of impermanence, devotion and renewal.
Inspired by the ritual of collecting fallen flowers in Bali, Sudamala reflects a moment of simplicity, femininity and connection with nature where what has fallen is not forgotten, but gathered and given new meaning.
